Indian smartphone makers, in recent times, have arrived in huge numbers. We are not necessarily stuck in those days when a choice for a handset was usually associated with the company that's from abroad. Nowadays, however, setups like Micromax and Karbonn are making sure that buyers don't have to knock on the doors of these brands everytime they look for a new device. The smartphone market, itself, is one of the most exciting and open in the world, and it's only natural more and more vendors will look to flood it with their own smartphone offerings. And now with the market opening up more than it did even a couple of years back, we see vendors releasing more than two devices a month.
