Brands like Apple and Oppo are going extra mile by opening its manufacturing units in India, thus supporting the Make in India initiative of the GOI. The IOT and Artificial Intelligence technology taken up by many brands would also transform and power the Indian market with its latest products. The introduction of (5G) wireless technology would provide the backbone for IoT that greatly improves data transfer speeds and processing power over its predecessors. This combination of speed and computing power will enable new applications for mobile technologies to function in the superlative manner. It will also open up new avenues for the network industry. Moreover, there are people in India who still don\u2019t have a mobile phone. Hence, with Nokia\u2019s comeback and with its adequate distribution network, it will be able to tap that near-edge market. No doubt, feature phones like this have the potential to do wonders. This year MWC has witnessed some cutting edge technologies and products which will undoubtedly change the dynamic of Indian Industry in the next two years.<\/p>","blog_img":"","posted_date":"2017-03-15 09:20:53","modified_date":"2017-03-15 09:58:48","featured":"0","status":"Y","seo_title":"MWC 2017: How Indian smartphone users shape global mobile ecosystem","seo_url":"mwc-2017-how-indian-smartphone-users-shape-global-mobile-ecosystem","url":"\/\/www.iser-br.com\/tele-talk\/mwc-2017-how-indian-smartphone-users-shape-global-mobile-ecosystem\/2227","url_seo":"mwc-2017-how-indian-smartphone-users-shape-global-mobile-ecosystem"},img_object:["","retail_files/author_1487231305_temp.jpg"],fromNewsletter:"",newsletterDate:"",ajaxParams:{action:"get_more_blogs"},pageTrackingKey:"Blog",author_list:"Sunil Kamath",complete_cat_name:"Blogs"});" data-jsinvoker_init="_override_history_url = "//www.iser-br.com/tele-talk/mwc-2017-how-indian-smartphone-users-shape-global-mobile-ecosystem/2227";">
