Within 2017, we have witnessed the rise of smartphone users, from flagship to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/xiaomi-mi-a2-launch\/\"> mid-range<\/a> and even low-end phone. As a result, Niti Aayog Chief Executive Amitabh Kant has announced this prediction about India&#8217;s future during a presentation. He claimed that in the next five years, every Indian is going to own their smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>In details, Amitabh Kant has given a speech at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iamai.in\/events\/11IDS\/\">India Digital Summit<\/a> (organised by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI)). Furthermore, Kant stated that there is currently up to 400 million smartphones users in India. On the other hand, the change of mobile data also plays an integral part in effecting the consumer behaviour. He also shared that &#8220;<em>India ranks first regarding most monthly Internet users in term of Facebook, Whatsapp, and Twitter&#8221;.<\/em><\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HP-Elite-x3.webp 680w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HP-Elite-x3-300x176.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HP-Elite-x3.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HP-Elite-x3.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HP-Elite-x3-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-70689 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"smartphone \" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Today, 85% of the devices are still unconnected.
