Component: Excellent hardware and software integration ensures superior smartphone performance and a seamless user experience

The hardware refers to the physical components that make up a smartphone, which includes the processor, RAM, display, cameras, and battery. Consumers prefer smartphones with high performance, longevity, and quality hardware. The software of a smartphone is the programming that dictates functionality, which mainly includes the operating system (OS) but also encompasses various applications and user interfaces. Functionality, freedom of customization, and security are crucial factors for users when considering software of smartphones.

Display Size: Growing popularity of 6.5" large screens for immersive viewing experience

Starting with the 4.0" - 5.0" range, which has long been the standard for many mainstream smartphones, this size remains a popular choice for its balanced blend of portability and function. These phones suit those users seeking to enjoy a comfortable viewing experience while retaining the compact dimensions of the device. Meanwhile, the below 4.0" category represents an increasingly niche segment, where the focus tilts towards ultra-portability. These compact devices are typically preferred by consumers who prioritize usability with a single hand and an unobtrusive presence in their pockets. The smartphones extending up to 6.5" represent the 'phablet', a fusion of phone and tablet trends. These large-display devices are favored by those engaging in heavy multimedia use, gaming, or productivity tasks where a larger screen can offer distinct benefits.

Operating System: Higher deployment of Android OS owing to its compatibility with numerous smartphone brands

Android powers a myriad of devices worldwide, developed primarily by Open Handset Alliance (OHA), led by Google and other companies. Android is an open-source and Linux-based operating system known for its multitude of customization options, compatibility with a range of hardware, and Google Play Store's extensive app library. Apple's proprietary iOS appeal lies in seamless integration across Apple's ecosystem, robust security, and quality-tested App Store. Windows Phone, a product of Microsoft Corporation, is a distant third in the smartphone Operating Systems of smartphones. Known for its seamless integration with Microsoft's suite of services, its key need-based preference lies in its business-friendly attributes.

Distribution: Emerging preferences for online sales channels, offering customized offers and convenience

The offline segment revolves around traditional brick-and-mortar retail locations, including dedicated brand outlets, multi-brand stores, and electronics retailers. Moreover, the immediate availability of products through the offline channels caters to urgent purchase requirements. The online segment consists of e-commerce platforms, brand-owned online spaces, and specialized electronics online retailers. These providers cater to tech-savvy consumers, valuing convenience and a wider range of product offerings. The need-based preference for online shopping also lies in the comfort of price comparison and extensive customer reviews at ease, thus aiding informed decisions.
