NEW DELHI, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Premier research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) Monday said India's smartphone shipments declined by 5 percent on a yearly basis for the third consecutive quarter, with vendors shipping 37 million smartphone units in the first quarter of 2022.
"The opening of the year was relatively slower as compared with 1Q21, due to the impact of the third wave of COVID-19, tight supplies especially for the low-end price segments, and rising inflation leading to increasing end-consumer prices," the IDC said.
