Asustek thinks it can sell 30 million smartphones
 

Asustek has a cunning plan to ship 30 million smartphones and become a worldwide top-10 smartphone vendor this year by flogging its products to India, Brazil, Russia and Africa.

According to Digitimes Asustek will have its work cut out as worldwide smartphone shipments were less than 1.3 billion units in 2015 and growth in 2016 expected to be even weaker.

Asustek shipped 20.5 million smartphones in 2015, up from 8.5 million in 2014. Under the glorious plan Asuste will raise its Indonesian shipments from 3.5 million units to five million. Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand will get five million ZenFone smartphones combined in 2016.

In Brazil, Asustek is mainly outsourcing its ZenFone orders to Foxconn plants in Brazil due to the country's high customs charges. Asustek shipped around one million units in 2015 in Brazil and is aiming to ship three million units in 2016.
