Smartphone market: Vietnamese brands struggle to emergeVietNamNet Bridge - The Vietnamese mobile phone market in recent days has heated up with the appearance of two 4G/LTE models – Bphone 2 of BKAV and Vivas Lotus S3 LTE of VNPT Technology. Asanzo, a TV manufacturer specializing in making low-cost CRT screen products, plans to join the smartphone market as well. “If there is another Vietnamese smartphone brand to compete with Mobiistar, this will be good news,” Kha told the press. Among Vietnamese brands, BPhone is the only product competing in the high-end market, while others focus on the low-cost segment.
