Over 15.8 million 4G/LTE devices were imported in the first quarter of 2016 in India, a report said on Friday.

Of these, 97.9 percent were smartphones followed by Internet data cards at 1.5 percent and the remaining 0.6 percent were tablet PCs.

This amounts to 63 percent of the cellular devices shipped through the quarter, said the report by market research company CyberMedia Research (CMR) "Quarterly India LTE Devices" report.
