Now, let’s check them and find out:
10. Motorola Moto X (2nd generation)
The Moto X2 has a similar design to its predecessor, the Moto X. The first generation had some shortcomings and problems, but all of it was resolved in the making of X2. The second generation features an aluminum frame, a set of infrared motion sensors and an upgraded internal hardware, including a 5.2 inch 1080p Super AMOLED pentile display and a 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB of RAM. It is considered to be one of the best Android smartphones and you can have it for about $400.
9. LG G3
LG G3’s popularity and demand in India are getting bigger by the day. The Snapdragon 801 processor, which we mentioned in the Moto X2 characteristics, ensures there are no mistakes when it comes to processing tasks. It is an unbelievably elegant phone, with a quad HD display. In its first eleven months of sale, nearly 10 million units of the G3 were sold. It is not one of the cheapest phones on this list, with the price going around $400.

8. iPhone 5S
Until the successor had been released into the market, the iPhone 5S was among the most popular smartphones in the whole world. Now it holds the 8th place, because of the immediate success of the iPhone 6. The iPhone 5S is actually the 7th generation of the iPhone line, developed by Apple Inc. Still, it is one of the best smartphones you can find, and the price stands at about $530. The price could be the reason for not selling that much in India as in the rest of the world.
7. Samsung Galaxy S5
The Samsung Galaxy S5 was released on April 11, 2014, as the successor to the Galaxy S4. Produced by Samsung Electronics, it received great reviews, as the sales in India started slowly, and built up with time, earning #7 on our list. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is powered by a pair of Exynos processors, although not in all markets. 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 powers S5 supported with 2GB of RAM. Samsun Galaxy S5 comes with Android 4.4.2 and Samsung’s TouchWiz software. It costs around $380.
6. Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Phablets are not that much popular in India, but those who like the bigger screen are choosing Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The leading brand in phablet division, Samsung, created a beast of a smartphone. 5’7-inch quad HD screen, ultra-fast processor, 3GB of ram memory, and 32/64GB of storage makes this phone the ultimate device. The price is around $540.
5. Huawei Honor Holly
This device was not expected to explode in the number of sold units. The biggest reason this device made it into this list is its price. It is an ultra-affordable smartphone, with solid processing power and camera. White glossy back and light weight make the phone look classy. Incredibly easy for using, the Huawei Honor Holly has one of the best touch displays in the world. Mere $120 are all you need to buy it, and people in India love this model much more than expensive ones.
4. Motorola G2
Another Motorola device in this list, the Moto G2 comes with a bumped up camera and a large 5-inch screen. It was launched on Flipkart on September 5, 2014, in India and only the 16GB dual SIM version of this phone is available there. This shows that people in India don’t pursue the newest models of the year, and that they go for cheaper phones more than for expensive ones. G2 received extremely positive reviews, and was called one of the best budget smartphones lately. For about $200 it can be yours.
3. Asus ZenFone 5
The ASUS ZenFone 5 is the mid-range of the ZenFone series. It hasn’t even been that long in stock, compared to the other smartphones listed, but it founds its way up early on. It features a powerful processor, either a Dual-Core Hyper-threaded Intel Atom or a Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon. The camera is solid, with 8MP rear and 2MP front. The price is $140.
2. Motorola Moto E
Even after many manufacturers came out blazing with better specked devices than this one, the Motorola Moto E kept selling strongly. You may even call it the little wonder from Motorola, which has excellent build quality and a premium feel. As it usually goes with the Motorola devices, this phone also has two generations with the first released in 2014, and the second in early 2015. Its price is, surprisingly, only 90$.

1. Xiaomi Redmi 1S
Code name: Armani. This beauty was released in May 2014, developed by the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi Inc. It is also the successor of the Redmi 1. Firstly noted for its low price, the Redmi 1S was truly an extremely demanded and popular phone, especially in India. Although the company discontinued this smartphone’s sale there, solely in the favor of its successors Redmi 2 & Redmi Note, it has to be the leader on our list. With equally powerful processing prowess as Samsung’s and Sony’s devices, what took it out of the competition was the ultra-low price. $140 to be exact, which could be the main reason this phone is on top of the 10 Best Selling Smartphones in India.
As you can see, the smartphone market in India is totally different than in the rest of the world. What are your thoughts about it?
