10.or G has been launched in India with prices starting from Rs. 10999 and from what we can see, one thing is pretty sure. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer can be a near-perfect competitor of the ultimate leader in the budget segment, Xiaomi.
Since 2014, where Xiaomi entered the Indian market in 2014, a year where tech giant Google sold Motorola to Lenovo, the two said companies have been leading the Indian smartphone business. From thereon, there has not been even a single competitor that can boast of producing more VFM products from its stable.
As far as the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is concerned, the sale of mid-budget, as well as entry-level smartphones, have witnessed a huge rise, attracting companies like 10.or to try and enter the game with their respective lycans.
That said, Xiaomi is nothing but a knight where budget smartphones are concerned, hence competing with something like this in this crucial stage, is rather a bold move from 10.or.
After launching the 10.or E, which was targeted towards the entry-level segment, the company has launched its second offering called the 10.or G (Tenor G). The model will be pitted against the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Honor 8 Lite, LG Q6, Moto G5, and the recently launched Canvas Infinity. Considering this, 10.or G (Tenor G) will have a lot of ground to cover up and truth be told, it seems like doing it in the most majestic way possible.
