Appnext Ranked #1 App Discovery Platform in India and SE Asia
It’s an exciting time for app advertisers, OEMs and operators as foldable tech becomes more and more mainstream.

OEMs are critical to the app economy, playing a significant role in determining how, when and why mobile devices are used.The ultimate decision as to what apps will be downloaded to a device may be influenced by OEMs (e.g. pre-install), however research suggests consumers are becoming more and more picky in how they search for apps on their mobile devices.
