New Delhi, Tech Desk. The iPhone 11, launched last year, has become the best-selling premium smartphone in India in the first quarter of the year. The iPhone 11 has achieved this position by replacing the iPhone XR. Apart from this, OnePlus 7T has recorded its presence at number two.

Data research organization Counterpoint Research released the first quarter report of the year. In this report, Samsung has once again become India’s number one premium smartphone brand. Whereas, OnePlus has now reached number three from the first.
According to Counterpoint Research’s smartphone segment above Rs 30,000, Samsung launched the Galaxy S10 Lite and the Galaxy Note 10 Lite as a new price range early in the year, benefiting from it.
