Greater China and a few emerging Asian markets drove sales of smartphones in the second quarter of 2017, say analysts at Gartner. That trend also speaks to the growing adoption of mobile internet access services.
India, Indonesia and Southeast Asian countries drove a year-over-year rise in smartphone sales in the emerging Asia/Pacific group.
Smartphone sales in Greater China declined, year over year, primarily due to longer replacement cycles and as users prefer to buy better smartphones.
