The report reveals that the demand for smartphones with display below 5 inches still dominate the market, holding majority share in volume sales in the country in 2013. However, over the forecast period, phablets with display size above 5 inches are expected to give stiff competition to smartphones in the country.

"Considering the increasing demand for smartphones in the country and rising competition from new entrants like Micromax and Lenovo, major players like Samsung, Nokia and HTC have slashed down the prices of their smartphones. New entrants are coming up with budget smartphones to cater diverse consumer segments in the UAE.", said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a global management consulting firm. "In addition, the introduction of 3G & 4G technologies is also expected to encourage more consumers to purchase smartphones", added Mr. Chechi.
