“The Indian smartphone market is maturing, and consumers are demanding more premium features and experiences. We are planning to launch 24 new models in 2024, of which 50 per cent will be 5G-enabled.” said Tecno Mobile India CEO Arijeet Talapatra.

The company’s average selling price has increased from Rs 11,000-12,000 in January 2023 to Rs 18,000-19,000 in December 2023. It is targeting a major growth in the Rs 15000 plus segment, with plans to sell 1.5 million handsets in 2024 compared to 7.5 lakh in 2023, he said.

The company’s premium smartphone portfolio includes the Phantom series, which features foldable smartphones. “5G is the future of smartphones, and we are committed to making it accessible to a wider range of consumers,” Talapatra said.

Currently 96-98 per cent of industry in the Rs 15000 plus categories are 5G-enabled and 55 per cent of its 10k-15k models are 5G-enabled.
