China’s ZTE has decided to push phones with its own brand in India, and they’ve launched a range of affordable GSM handsets – S315, A261, R220, R230 and R230BT, at price points ranging from Rs. 1,100 to Rs. 3,800.
As a result, the company has appointed Overseas Mobiles as its national distributor for mobile and data devices, which will further be appointing 80 regional distributors across the country, as well as manage relationships with distributors and corporate customers on behalf of ZTE. This is all done as part of the Chinese company’s plan to establish a network of 100,000 retail outlets in India by the end of this year…
For the record, ZTE has already sold over 20 million handsets in India through partnerships with various operators. On a global scale, the company has crossed the 100 million mark last year, and is currently the sixth largest handset manufacturer in the world.
