<ul><li>The <keyword id="8194701" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="refurbished-smartphone" source="Orion">refurbished smartphone</keyword> market has recorded rapid growth in India.</li><li>While the unorganised sellers dominate the market, the organised sellers are also growing.</li><li>Affordability and shorter upgrade cycles are among the factors fueling the refurbished smartphone market.</li></ul> India's refurbished smartphone market is experiencing significant growth, outpacing the new smartphone sector. This reflects a maturing market which is increasingly catering to consumers looking for affordable yet reliable options. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, unorganised sellers dominate the refurbished smartphone market, accounting for 77% of transactions. The Indian refurbished smartphone sector has traditionally been dominated by unorganised players, offering devices at a fraction of the cost of the new models. However, the introduction of value-added services like warranties, quality assurance, and after-sales support by emerging e-commerce platforms is beginning to formalise this market, enhancing consumer trust and driving further growth. <h2>What’s fueling the refurbished smartphone market</h2><h3>Affordability</h3><keyword id="2698558" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="refurbished-smartphones" source="Orion">Refurbished smartphones</keyword> offer consumers access to higher-end hardware at lower costs, making premium technology more accessible to a broader audience. This aspect is particularly appealing in a price-sensitive market like India. <h3>Shorter upgrade cycles</h3>With technology evolving rapidly, many users prefer to upgrade their phones more frequently. Refurbished devices provide an avenue for this without the high cost associated with new purchases. <h3>Environmental impact</h3>There's a growing awareness of the environmental benefits of using refurbished products, which reduces electronic waste and the demand for new manufacturing, which is resource-intensive. <h3>Consumer confidence</h3>The entry of organised players who provide guarantees and quality checks on refurbished devices has significantly boosted consumer confidence. These services add a layer of reliability to what was once a market fraught with uncertainty about product condition and longevity. Despite the growth in the unorganised sector, there's a noticeable trend towards formalisation. E-commerce platforms specialising in refurbished goods are expanding, providing consumers with the convenience of online shopping backed by credible service commitments. The report also notes that this growth is not just contained within India. Globally, the refurbished smartphone market is on an upward trajectory, with similar trends observed in markets like Latin America, suggesting a broader international shift towards sustainable consumption in electronics.

India's refurbished smartphone market witnesses accelerated growth

Indian companies across multiple sectors have reported disappointing results in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, notes a new JM Financials report. Consequently, their poor performance has triggered stock price corrections for affected companies. The brunt of this weaker than expected earnings was largely borne by consumer centric sectors like FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), retail, and auto, which slacked largely due to dampened urban demand. For instance, India's largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki, reported a 5% YoY decline in its total domestic passenger vehicle wholesales, largely on the back of pent-up inventory. Similarly, Honda reported a staggering 23% YoY dip in its total sales during October 2024. A recent report by Bernstein noted that around 48% of the companies listed on the NSE100 index missed their earnings estimate for Q2FY25, the highest since March 2020. Most companies have mentioned deteriorated domestic demand, urban slowing, macroeconomic risk, and margin pressures as the main reasons behind the dip. "The quarter's earnings have made investors nervous," noted the JM Financials report. The challenging environment stems from multiple factors: softening consumer demand, rising input costs, and companies' limited ability to increase prices. Moreover, this is not limited to just one quarter. Companies have been reporting weak, single-digit earnings growth for the last six consecutive quarters. Data from India Data Hub also suggests that corporate profits of listed companies plunged by as much as 3.4% during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This is in stark contrast to the year-ago period, where they had shot up by over 40% The oil and gas sector had a difficult quarter, with refiners hit by weak margins and city gas distributors struggling with higher input costs. Financial institutions showed mixed results. While government-owned banks reported strong numbers, microfinance institutions and some private lenders faced massive difficulties with their unsecured loans. Most notable amongst this was the case of IndusInd Bank, which saw its net profits dip by 40% amidst burgeoning provisions, which climbed 87% to Rs 1,820 crore in Q2, as against Rs 974 crore reported in the year-ago period. <h2>Markets head southwards</h2>The selling trend by FPIs has dragged down the major Indian indices, the Nifty 50 and Sensex, both of which have dropped by around 8% since the beginning of this selling spree in October. According to National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) data, FPIs offloaded equities worth a significant Rs 19,994 crore in just the first five trading sessions of November last week. The impact is clearly visible on Indian stock markets. Data suggests that while every sector in October closed the month in red, auto, oil and gas, and consumer durables were the most badly hit, each declining by as much as 10% during the month. Another indicator underlining the inherent weakness of the market was that the month saw only 242 stocks hit their 52-week high, significantly below the usual monthly average of 310.

The report highlighted a 7.01% month-on-month (MoM) decline in overall retail auto sales, falling from 20.34 lakh units in July to 18.91 lakh units in August. Despite this monthly decline in sales, the auto sector witnessed a modest 2.88% year-on-year (YoY) growth compared to August 2023. "India saw 15.9% <keyword id="22508938" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="excess-rainfall" source="keywords">excess rainfall</keyword>, with a significant surplus in key regions, disrupting auto retail performance," said a report by FADA. <h2>Decline in sales</h2>The report added that the two-wheeler (2W) segment, despite showing a 6.28% year-on-year growth, registered a 7.29% month-on-month decline. As per the report, market saturation and weather disruptions were the key factors behind the decline in two-wheeler sales. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113016216" title="August auto sales – Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and others report a decline in sales" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> In the passenger vehicle (PV) segment, there was a 4.53% YoY and 3.46% MoM decline, while the commercial vehicle (CV) segment recorded an 8.5% MoM and 6.05% YoY decline. FADA noted that weak industrial demand and weather-related challenges were major contributors to the significant drop in commercial vehicle sales. <h2>Inventory levels continue to be a challenge</h2>FADA also highlighted growing inventory challenges in the PV segment, with stock days ranging between 70-75 days, representing approximately 7.8 lakh vehicles valued at ₹77,800 crore. The report noted that these high inventory levels, combined with aggressive OEM dispatches have created cash flow pressures for dealers, impacting their profitability. "Dealers under pressure due to aggressive OEM dispatches, with dealers facing cash flow challenges and reduced profitability" the report said. <h2>FADA urges banks to tighten funding</h2>To address this, FADA has urged banks and NBFCs to tighten funding for dealers with excessive inventory. Additionally, the report emphasized the need for dealers and OEMs to recalibrate their supply strategies to avoid a potential inventory crisis. For the upcoming months, the report paints an optimistic picture with the festive season offering growth opportunities. However, it also noted that the auto retail market must navigate challenges posed by weather uncertainties and inventory management. With inputs from ANI.

He noted that the festive season generally gives high double-digit <keyword id="20040491" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sales-growth" source="keywords">sales growth</keyword>, helping the automaker to average out single-digit growth of the earlier quarter. "So in that sense, on an average, then we are able to get a double-digit growth during the festive season," Iyer stated. Elaborating on the overall industry, which still remains a very small part of the overall passenger vehicle market in the country, he said the segment is headed for record volumes this fiscal year but not all players are witnessing growth." Some (companies) are even degrowing, some are flat and they are facing headwinds, but because we are the primary player in the market, we still feel the luxury car market should cross 50,000-51,000 cars this year," Iyer said. The luxury car market in India currently remains very small accounting for less than 2 % of the overall passenger vehicle market in the country. Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon said the automaker anticipates positive buying trends to continue during the festive season. "Our best-selling models - the A4, A6, Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, Q7, and the newly launched Q8 - continue to drive robust demand," he added. The company is equally optimistic about the e-tron range, the e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT, Dhillon said. BMW Group India President Vikram Pawah said the fundamentals of the Indian economy are sturdy and consumer confidence in the luxury segment is on the rise. "For BMW Group India, the order bank is solid and we are trying our best to speed up deliveries for our customers. Along with additional bookings around Diwali and Dussehra, we are confident of closing the year on a high note while clocking impressive growth," he stated. He noted that the group is witnessing very strong demand for products across all segments. Pawah said that in the run-up to the festive season, the company has introduced several special editions of its existing model range. The festive season usually commences with Onam and ends with Diwali every year.

Both phones are powered by the upgraded Apple A18 chip and come with an improved dual-camera system that includes a new spatial capture feature for enhanced photography. Running on iOS 18 right out of the box, these models are set to receive further smart updates with upcoming software enhancements. The vanilla iPhone 16 features a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Plus offers a larger 6.7-inch screen. Both displays are protected by Ceramic Shield technology and reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, though they continue to use 60Hz OLED panels.

For photography enthusiasts, the Pro models pack a triple-lens setup, including a 48MP main camera, a new 48MP ultrawide lens, and a 12MP periscope camera offering 5x optical zoom.

<ul><li>Redmi has launched the new Note series line-up</li><li>Redmi Note 13 Pro+ starts at ₹31,999</li><li>The smartphone features an all new design &amp; SoC</li></ul>Redmi has finally launched the all new Note series line-up. A smartphone that helped Redmi solidify their foothold in the mid-range market, Note is definitely an important brand for Redmi. Following what we saw last year, we have three different avatars of the Redmi Note this year, the regular 13, then a 13 Pro and Finally a 13 Pro+. I am reviewing the 13 Pro+ the upper end of the bracket. With an all new design, improved cameras and a curved screen this device looks worthy of the note name on paper. However, is this the best device in the market today? Competition has caught up with Redmi and we have some serious alternatives in the market. So, who is the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ for? And is it the best Redmi Note this year? I answer in my full review. Price &amp; Availability Redmi Note 13 Pro+ will be available in three variants. You can buy the smartphone from Amazon or select offline stores. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">8GB RAM + 256GB Storage </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹31,999 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">12GB RAM + 512GB Storage </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹35,999 </td></tr></tbody></table> Design <div type="image" title="The textured back on fusion purple variant feels premium." msid="106617042" hostid="261" sizebytes="31662" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The textured back on fusion purple variant feels premium.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is the biggest leap we have seen on a Redmi smartphone since it was first introduced back in 2014. Calling the design innovative would be a stretch, what we can call it is - updated. In line with what we see on most upper mid-range smartphones these days, the 13 Pro+ also follows a sleek design language paired with a curved screen. What I find amusing about the 13 Pro+ is the execution, since the material Redmi has used here definitely feels premium. The device feels light in hand and gives you confidence since you can maintain a firm grip around it. I have a personal bias towards more traditional glass sandwich designs, but I make exceptions when a device gets the curve right. The variant with me is in the fusion purple color which follows a mondrian pattern dividing the colors in square blocks. It’s definitely done tastefully and the textured back adds to the appeal. However I personally incline to the more subtle black variant. But if you want to flaunt your new Redmi Note 13 Pro+ then the fusion purple is definitely the color for you. Also on the back we have the triple camera system which is now updated, more about it later. Keeping in line with the overall experience the execution of the module is also in good taste, with a new placement for the dual flash. It is now placed on top right, a new favorite spot for OEMs. We saw this with Vivo X100 Pro &amp; OnePlus Open as well. <div type="image" title="Redmi Note 13 Pro+ sports a slim build." msid="106617058" hostid="261" sizebytes="36102" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Redmi Note 13 Pro+ sports a slim build.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Getting back to the quality here the device comes with IP68 water resistant rating, a definitive advantage over its competition. Moreover the front display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus + something we don’t see at this price point. Always good to know your display will be protected against minor scratches or sudden falls especially if you are clumsy like me. Moving to other design elements, on the right edge we have the volume rockers next to the power button. At the bottom we have the Type-C port next to the speaker grill. We also have the SIM tray, the device supports 2 nano SIMs. On top we have the second speaker alongside the IR blaster. Overall the Redmi Note 13 Pro+’s new design can be dubbed as a necessary upgrade for the current times. While it does look a lot like its contemporaries like the Realme 11 Pro+ the color scheme and build quality creates a noticeable distinction. Display <div type="image" title="The display behaves like a flagship screen." msid="106617107" hostid="261" sizebytes="41066" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The display behaves like a flagship screen.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Redmi Note 13 Pro+ features a 6.6-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 1220 x 2712 Pixels. Like the previous iteration, this is a punch-hole screen with very thin bezels except and an improved chin. This is a new panel altogether with an improved peak brightness at 1800 nits. Like last time the max refresh rate of the display is 120Hz. The screen is highly convenient for outdoor use, allowing easy text readability. However, I wouldn't suggest leaving the auto brightness feature on. While it effectively adjusts brightness indoors, I found myself manually readjusting it when outdoors. Regarding display capabilities, it supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, with options for 60Hz or auto-refresh. I usually have reservations about auto-refresh rates due to their inconvenience when switching between web pages and games, often resulting in visible lag. Surprisingly, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ impressed me here. The auto-switch function was smoother than anticipated, making transitions between web pages, games, and apps easy on the eyes.Nevertheless, for my testing, I preferred sticking to the maximum setting of 120Hz. Overall, the experience is seamless. Whether reading online articles or gaming, the display performs exceptionally well in every aspect. While the display is indeed gorgeous you will face some mistouches on this one sometimes. Now I have been around curved displays a lot lately so I know how to avoid mistouches. So let me tell you a simple trick, avoid using the slide in menu on the right corner for short cuts. Rest it's a solid experience. I've spent nearly two weeks with the Note 13 Pro+, including a holiday week when it became my primary device for binge-watching content. To start, the device impressively supports HD formats across all OTT applications, delivering a noticeable enhancement. As part of my Christmas tradition, I watched the remastered HD version of "Home Alone 2," a movie from the early '90s, and the Note 13 Pro+ truly brought it to life. Though the colors leaned slightly towards the colder side, it didn't significantly affect the viewing experience. The display output was sharp, allowing me to easily perceive all the traps set by Macaulay Culkin's character, Kevin, in the movie. The HDR performance was equally impressive, delivering deep blacks on the screen. Furthermore, the display boasts Dolby Vision, enhancing compatible content. Watching "What If" on Hotstar, I experienced a noticeable improvement in both visual and audio output. The colors appeared more accurate, and the audio output retained finer details. Paired with this display is a fairly loud dual-speaker system. While the sound quality isn't top-tier, it's certainly sufficient to fill a room. With the device's sizable screen, you might even consider skipping a Bluetooth speaker when watching content with someone else. We also get an optical in-display sensor here which is fairly quick to register and unlock the device. It’s standard and familiar in terms of results and process. Software The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ series comes pre-installed with Android 13 alongside MiUi 14. An imminent update to Android 14 for this smartphone is expected, which will likely impact its functionality. Compared to its predecessor, the Note 13 series notably carries significantly less bloatware, a contrast from the excessive preloaded software and ads that plagued the Note 12. Redmi has made substantial improvements in managing these issues, leading to a cleaner MiUi layout that's intuitive to navigate and comprehend upon interaction. MiUi 14 maintains the familiar Redmi device interface with its recognizable and vibrant animations. A successful UI, in my opinion, resonates well with a diverse user base, and MiUi 14 achieves this by being sleek and user-friendly. The range of customization choices offered is extensive, featuring various wallpapers and themes. While some may prefer third-party skins, I find that the stock skin offers the most visually appealing experience. However, one drawback common to many third-party skins is their departure from Google's standard skin layouts. Furthermore, additional features have been incorporated to enhance specific experiences, notably the Game Turbo. This feature acts as a game hub, displaying the smartphone's temperature and allowing users to configure custom profiles while gaming. Additionally, there's a handy shortcut for screen recording, which might not attract every user but can greatly benefit serious gamers. In my experience, the UI has remained stable without encountering any disruptive bugs, despite being a new device operating on a stable UI with a well-established operating system. It will be intriguing to observe the performance post the anticipated Android 14 update. Performance The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ runs on the Mediatek Dimensity 7200+ SoC, a new processor positioned within this price range. It promises surprises, setting itself apart in terms of performance metrics. According to Geekbench scores, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ achieves 1121 and 2630 for single-core and multi-core performances, respectively. This hardware prowess translates into slightly enhanced gaming performance on the device. I tested its capabilities using COD: Mobile as my benchmark game. Impressively, the smartphone effortlessly handled high-quality graphics and maintained very high frame rates. The gaming experience felt smooth, aided by a robust internet connection and the flat display, contributing to an exceptional gameplay performance. However, gaming with lower battery levels, particularly under 20%, tends to warm up the device, especially when operating at maximum settings with a 120Hz refresh rate. At this point, even the vapor chamber cooling system struggles to contain the heat. The model I have boasts 12GB of RAM, with an option for a RAM boost that adds an additional 3GB. Despite this, understanding the necessity of this feature has been somewhat challenging, given that 12GB typically suffices to handle all tasks efficiently. During my two weeks of usage, the phone consistently exhibited lightning-fast boot-up speeds, accommodating both heavy-duty applications and lighter ones like calculators, weather apps, and similar utilities. For storage, my variant offers 256GB of internal space, which should meet the needs of most users. Nevertheless, if reliance on cloud storage solutions is preferred, the 128GB option would suffice. The standout feature of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is its battery performance. On intense usage days involving heavy camera usage, constant social media engagement, and continuous content consumption, the smartphone managed an average screen-on time of 5 hours. On lighter usage days focused mainly on emails and WhatsApp, the screen-on time could extend to 6 hours. Remarkably, the 120W fast charging capability stands out as a significant highlight. With mobile data activated, the smartphone can reach a full charge, going from 0% to 100%, in approximately 25 minutes. Camera The Note 13 Pro+ brings back the triple-camera setup. It features a primary 200MP sensor equipped with OIS, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP macro camera. While the ultra-wide and macro cameras are familiar, the inclusion of the 200MP sensor is a new addition and worth exploring. By default, the primary camera captures pictures in a 50MP resolution, delivering impressive results, especially outdoors under natural lighting. These images maintain natural color tones and exhibit no oversaturation. Additionally, the camera excels in shadow detail and HDR accuracy. While the 50MP resolution captures excellent images, switching to the 200MP resolution elevates the quality further. Switching to the 200MP resolution in the camera settings might not be immediately noticeable, but it significantly enhances the ability to capture intricate details. The resulting images maintain respectable quality even after cropping. The heavily advertised OIS performs admirably, producing sharp shots even when taken from a moving car. However, under artificial lighting conditions, the camera struggles, exhibiting noticeable noise and reduced detail, which improves when utilizing the night mode. Night mode proves effective, delivering accurate colors and precise details, albeit requiring careful framing and focus adjustment. The camera's potential shines through these shots. The portrait mode yields promising results, showcasing edge detection comparable to flagship phone cameras, a notable improvement over previous Redmi Note models. While the ultrawide sensor expands the frame, it noticeably alters color tones, rendering frames undersaturated. Despite its basic 2MP setup, the macro sensor impresses with sharp images and accurate colors. In the video department, while the performance is decent, it lacks standout features. Focus shifting is slower than ideal, potentially causing missed moments. The camera records 4K videos at 30fps, ideal for tripod-based shooting. Moreover, the built-in microphone captures impressive audio, effectively reducing background noise. The selfie camera, a 16MP shooter, performs well for images and even better for videos, enabling swift focus shifts suitable for vlogs. The dedicated vlog mode within the camera app, although complex, offers the capability to create video compilations, akin to video editing apps. The camera app of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ includes a favored feature: document mode, which functions as a native document scanner—a convenient addition appreciated for its usefulness. Added features like voice shutter and assist cam in the camera app add to the strength of the camera. Overall, the camera setup impresses, albeit with minor limitations and notable strengths. Verdict Redmi Note 13 Pro+ definitely has an advantage over its competitors, with revised specifications, updated design and a superior camera. It is definitely a healthy upgrade over last years 12 Pro+ and takes the note legacy forward in the right direction. However if you find it pricey for a ‘note’ device then I suggest checking out the Redmi Note 13 Pro. With a small compromise on the design it will provide you solid benchmarks and competitive performance.
