In the first two months of 2024, Pakistan domestically manufactured or assembled 6.13 million phones, while only 0.3 million devices were imported during the same period, Gwadar Pro reported on Friday quoting the latest data from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
These phones include 3.35 million smartphones and 2.78 million Second Generation Mobile (2G mobile), commonly known as GSM phones.
Chinese companies are leading in the manufacturing and assembling of mobile devices, helping the country reduce its import bill and ease the burden on foreign reserves.
