Indian smartphone market is no less than a battlefield for smartphone manufacturers and now even legendary Nokia has also become a part of this. Each year we see a lot of new smartphones launching in India but besides that are also few smartphones that don’t get launched in this market. And today, we are going to list 5 smartphones we would like to see launched in India. Please note that these below-mentioned smartphones are already launched in different markets and are available for purchase.
#1. LG V30: This is LG’s latest flagship smartphone which was announced at IFA 2017 in Berlin in September this year. The smartphone has got top-notch specifications and are now available in several markets.
