Nokia has a huge market of Asha phones in India and other asian countries. Microsoft getting out of that in 18 months and Google promising to invest millions in promoting Android One smartphones in India from this fall makes it an interesting market to watch.
The real smartphone growth is going to come from India and other asian countries around it that have less than 10% smartphone penetration currently. And population of more than 1.5 billion. Most of these countries have just started deploying 4g mobile services some even skipping 3g+ in the process.
