In the city of Mangalor, South India, I received a backup of Japanese living in the country, and for a short period of time, I tried to live in the same way as locals and felt the realization of IT.It sounds like a well -known big city in IT in India, but it is a manga roll, not bangalol.Manga Roll and Bangalor are in the same Carnataka, with a distance of 350 km, not far from the vast India.Bangalor is one of India's leading cities, but Mangalor is a medium city with a population of about 500,000.But for a compact city, there are some income and slums.It is such a city.Let's look at some of the Indian IT situation with this manga roll as a sample.

　Manga rolls are limited to smartphones and mobile phones.A variety of mobile phones from feature phones to smartphones can be purchased in the center of the city, and in the city's best home appliance building to say "Akihabara", from the feature phone to the smartphone.There are also shops that handle Apple products in the shopping mall.From the cheap feature phones with unknown manufacturers to the iPhone for the time being.

　In Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata in large cities, there are many home appliances retailers in multiple shopping centers, private mobile phone shops around the foot of the common people's feet, along the main street, etc.You can find it while taking a walk in an area with many shops.In addition to the sale of the main unit, the mobile phone shop also sells prepaid SIM cards and charging call charges (mostly referred to as "Recharge").

　At popular private shops, they still sell feature phones as the main repairs and SIM card -related services.They sell low -priced feature phones, smartphones, and tablets on TV shopping.The feature phone is still active.Meanwhile, electronics retailers sell smartphones and tablets for local companies in Indian companies, such as Apple, Samsung, Sony, HTC, Micromax, INTEX, IBall, and LYF (the smartphone brand of India's largest complex).The price is the cheapest smartphone for about 5,000 to 15,000 yen.The price is whether you can buy one with the average monthly income of white collar.

　The shopping mall itself has an air conditioner and there are many people, but household appliances in the shopping mall also have high home appliances needs, and many customers have decided on smartphones, tablets, personal computers, television, and white goods.ing.5 inches or 5 that attracts attention with smartphones.It is a 5 -inch product with a dual SIM card slot, and a camera that is strong in self -shooting.For example, one of the center is "Xperia C4", which is resistant to self -portrait.The model of this world model is compatible with 3G/4G in India, but at the store is Xperia C4.It is described as dual GSM, that is, two 2G SIM cards.

　In addition, there is no public wireless LAN at the latest popular spot, a shopping mall.At the moment, there is almost no need for data communication, so you can get a glimpse of the local smartphone usage status.

　The shopping mall has a food court.You can eat a variety of meals, but unlike Japanese food courts, when you can eat out for about 2,300 yen per meal and eat out for less than 100 yen, all of them are Takamine flowers, only good people who have grown up there.There is financial power.Many of the young generations of food courts owned their smartphones, and they (especially women), who had income (especially women), were eager to take out their smartphones and take self -portrait.However, they don't have any other apps, but most people take out smartphones from time to time, take pictures, check the photos, and repeat the smartphone.It wasn't as good as "smartphone dependence", and there were few people who used Facebook.

　For many smartphone users of Manga Roll, smartphones are now like a "digital camera that can be called for the first time,".For this reason, OPPO and other Chinese manufacturers (Xiaomi, which appeals to India, was not sold in real life), appealed that it is a beautiful camera with a beautiful selfie.(Especially non -intellectual) Indians have not yet been very popular with Made In China because they have a very good reputation.

　In other cities such as Munbai, Bangalore, and Chennai, in large cities such as Mumbai, Bangalor, and Chennai, used game shops and used digital shop chains "CEX" (https: // in IN).webuy.COM/) is being deployed in a shopping mall, so you can buy used products as much as the actual product at a low price.Although there are second -hand stores that are used by individuals in China and Southeast Asia, or used markets such as thief markets where such stores gather, I have never seen stores with clear purchase prices and selling prices.

　The shopping mall is full of food courts, cinemas, haunted houses, skating rinks, and bowling alley, but the movie theater has started screening Angry Birds.The film is also screened in China and other countries, but "Anglie Bird" has fallen a long time ago.In India, this movie may increase the use of games and other use.

　The shopping center called "Duby Market", where electric shops are concentrated, has several mobile shops solidified, and several customers are consulting about purchases at each store.It should be noted here that many imported smartphones from outside India are handled.It is an imported product from outside India, and there are many Sony and Samsung products, and they are sold slightly cheaper than genuine India.Since there are not a few non -regular distribution owners, there is a difference between the "new smartphone manufacturer in the Indian market" and the ranking by the actual new product owned by manufacturers.

　By the way, there are often topics of smartphones and tablets that are too cheap in India. For example, in February this year, the price of $ 4, that is, the smartphone equipped with Android (made by Ringing Bells), which can be bought with one coin in Japanese yen, became news, and in May this year, 99 rupees (about 160 yen). The smartphone "Achhe Din" (made by namotel) was announced. These product trends have not begun this year, and five years ago, a tablet called "AAKASH" (made by Datawind) was announced five years ago at a very cheap price of about 4000 yen. Of course, even if there was a margin, I found that I was lucky if I could find it and buy it, but I couldn't find it. That was probably the case, but I did a press release or recruitment on the net, but in the end my cash flow did not go well and it was out.
