According to a recent projection by Counterpoint Research, 4G smartphone shipments in India are expected to see a 3% growth in 2026. This anticipated rise comes during a broader slump in the overall smartphone market.
While the industry has heavily prioritized 5G adoption across various tiers, demand for dependable, entry-level 4G devices remains an important component of the ecosystem. Budget-conscious consumers and first-time smartphone buyers continue to drive steady interest in cost-effective connectivity.
The modest growth underlines the resilience of the 4G segment, suggesting that older network standards will still have a notable presence in the region even as next-generation technologies expand.
