What to track next
- Changes in HDFC/ICICI/bank offers, exchange values and EMI schemes.
- Price cuts or new launches of rival models, especially from OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi, Nothing and Motorola.
- Monthly channel inventory, retailer discounting and sell-through signals.
- Emergence of any new signal on the rupee, import component costs, memory/chipset costs or GST/duty.
