The notable points of the device include: 8-core processor, 90Hz refresh rate screen, 5,000mAh high-capacity battery, 48MP quad-camera set, reasonable price. However, due to the high capacity battery in the mid-range price segment, the device will be a bit thick and heavy (9.7mm, 214g). Besides, the screen border is also a bit thick. The device has a large screen, 6.7 inches, HD + resolution. This screen is large enough for surfing the web, social networking, watching videos. The 90Hz refresh rate is rare in the segment, making screen surfing smoother. Most machines in the 3-4 million dong segment have a 6.5-inch screen, so this size of the M12 is large. Only two models Vsmart Active 3 and Joy 4, which were heavily discounted after VinSmart decided to withdraw from the market, have a FullHD + screen, higher than the HD + level of the M12. Despite being at a low price, the device is equipped with a 4-camera cluster, enough for most basic shooting needs. In which the main camera has a resolution of 48MP, a large aperture of f / 2.0. The 5MP ultra-wide camera has a 123-degree shooting angle. The 2MP macro camera allows users to focus at a short distance of only 3-5cm. In this segment, only Xiaomi Redmi 9T has the same 48MP camera as the M12. Other devices have lower resolutions. Meanwhile, the M12’s font removal camera with a 2MP sensor helps to measure the depth of field, creating photos that clarify the subject, blurring the scene behind. Besides, the camera also has a professional shooting mode, allowing deep intervention in the photography features. In addition, this camera has additional features to capture panorama, capture food. The selfie camera with 8MP sensor supports portraiture, focuses on the subject, blurs the background. This camera has additional beautifying functions, creating stickers, or adding color filters. Most of the M12’s competitors have 5-8MP selfie cameras, but a few Vsmart models as mentioned have superior configurations. The back of the device is made from a plastic shell, with a textured design to help eliminate the possibility of fingerprints. The rounded corners make it more comfortable to hold. The machine is quite thick, so some people will feel like holding it quite firmly. M12 has 3 colors black, blue, turquoise. One of the strengths of the device is a 5,000mAh battery, integrated with 15W fast charging technology. With this battery level, the device can be used comfortably for 1 day, or lasts for two days if used lightly. According to the manufacturer, with a full battery will help the device surf the web for 1 day, talk for 2 days and listen to music continuously for 3 days. The battery capacity of the M12 is at a high level compared to many competitors, but some devices like Redmi 9T, Realme C15 have a 6,000mAh battery. The device uses an 8-core Exynos 850 processor, clocked at 2GHz, 3GB or 4GB RAM, 32/64GB internal memory (card slot reaches 1TB). This configuration can hardly install too many applications or games, so users need to select the necessary applications and games to install. In general, at a price of nearly 4 million VND, the M12 is a reasonable choice when compared to many competitors. However, because it is aimed at new users, it will be difficult for the device to meet heavy games, or have too high requirements for image quality. M12 is priced at 3.49 million for the 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM version. The 4GB/64GB model alone costs VND 3.89 million.

Existing for 3 years, VinSmart sometimes reached the top 3 in terms of smartphone market share in Vietnam. No more Vietnamese phones that can compete “My feeling was surprise and disappointment when I received this information. During the VinSmart product business, The Gioi Di Dong assessed that this brand has gained competitiveness in certain segments. Their products are not inferior to other competitors”, a representative of The Gioi Di Dong, the smartphone retailer with the largest market share in Vietnam, shared. Zing . VinSmart is able to compete with other brands in the smartphone field. Meanwhile, the second retailer in the market, FPT Shop, also evaluates that VinSmart’s smartphones are capable of competing with other brands. “FPT Shop and consumers will regret it when Vietnamese brands gradually withdraw from the smartphone market. This is an area that requires constant and very fast updates. However, the mobile phone market has always had a very high level of competition,” said Nguyen The Kha – Head of Mobile Telecommunications Sector FPT Shop, expressing his regret at VinSmart’s announcement to stop the mobile segment. According to FPT Shop, VinSmart’s smartphones are beautifully designed, well-configured and reasonably priced. Vsmart competes strongly with brands from China. In the price segment of less than 4 million VND, Vsmart always has product lines such as Live, Star or Joy that compete well and, above all, are guaranteed for up to 18 months. VinSmart’s competitiveness is shown through numbers, not words. According to market research firm GfK In March, the market share of Vsmart-branded smartphones in Vietnam was 8.2%, ranking 6th in the domestic market. VinSmart achieved a market share of 12.1%, entering the group of 4 best-selling smartphone brands in Vietnam in December 2020. Previously, in October 2020, the company ranked 3rd with 10.5% market share. VinSmart was born in June 2018, and introduced the first smartphones 6 months later. After nearly 3 years of development, Vsmart has launched 19 phone models and 5 TV models. In June 2020, VinSmart announced that it had sold 1.2 million phones. Thus, with the stop of VinSmart, the Vietnamese mobile market still has a name called Bphone of Bkav. However, Bphone 3 has been sold since 2018 with undisclosed sales. Meanwhile, the B40 model was introduced in May 2020, but so far, after a year, this device has not been sold on the market. Model B86 has been discontinued from retail chains. Right decision “I was surprised when I received the news that VinSmart stopped the mobile and TV business. The first feeling is regret when losing a Vietnamese smartphone brand but fully support this decision. This is the right decision in the new context, specifically the epidemic,” said Mai Trieu Nguyen, owner of the Mai Nguyen mobile retail chain. Stopping the smartphone segment and focusing on electric cars is the right direction for Vingroup. According to Mr. Nguyen, besides needing capital to focus on developing VinFast, Vingroup also has to deal with the scarcity of processor chips in the whole industry. “In the context of Covid-19, chips are scarce. Without a chip, there would be no smartphone, the whole line had to wait for a supplier. A smartphone has a lot of chips. This dependence only makes the situation worse. Not to mention that chip suppliers often give preference to partners who sell in larger quantities,” Nguyen predicted the reason VinSmart stopped the smartphone business. At the same time, Mr. Nguyen also gave an example of another Vietnamese brand, Mobiistar, which also stopped doing business because of difficulties in the supply chain. “Mobiistar has tried to overcome difficulties in the component supply chain by selling in India. When the sales volume is large, the company is better able to negotiate components with suppliers,” said Mr. Nguyen. Meanwhile, Apple and Samsung, the two leading brands in the supply chain are also facing difficulties when processor chips are scarce due to the epidemic. Some other companies have had to postpone the product launch date because of a lack of components. According to experts, the decision to dissolve the business segment that has been built for 3 years and has a good market share is not easy. I really respect the executive brains because this is the right decision of VinSmart in the new context, namely the epidemic. Mr. Mai Trieu Nguyen, owner of mobile retail chain Mai Nguyen Previously, HTC and LG also hesitated for a long time before deciding to withdraw from this fiercely competitive market. “They wait too long only to push them into debt and loss. Vingroup’s management team is more assertive. What area has no future they boldly cut out. Buying and closing Vien Thong A or closing VinMart is one of their timely decisions,” said Nguyen. In addition, the electric car market is being evaluated as having the most potential for growth because this segment is still in its infancy. “Famous names in the technology industry such as Huawei, Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo all have plans to change direction. So it is very understandable that VinGroup closes the phone segment to seriously invest in electric cars. But honestly, emotionally, I still regret losing a Vietnamese brand in the smartphone market,” Nguyen concluded. Leaving the popular group market share for Oppo, Xiaomi VinSmart’s products are considered to focus on the segment under VND 4 million. In this segment, brands like Oppo, Xiaomi, vivo and even Samsung have competitive representation. The most obvious is the top 10 best-selling smartphones of GfK In the first quarter of 2020, there were 7 models priced under 5 million VND. Names like Samsung A12/A02s/A12/M15, Oppo A12/A15/A53 are typical examples for the strategy of using low-priced smartphones to capture market share of brands. In the smartphone segment under VND 5 million, companies like Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi or vivo all see this as a place to capture market share. Low-cost phones make it easier for carriers to reach consumers, thereby creating loyal customer groups. This is an indispensable segment of a brand, although the profit performance may not be as high as that of high-end smartphones. Besides VinSmart, Bphone is the last Vietnamese brand that produces smartphones. According to the latest data from GfK , VinSmart accounted for 9.3% of Vietnam’s mobile market share in February 2021. The absence of VinSmart will leave a gap for brands with strengths in the popular group. “The appearance of Vsmart even in a short time with abundant financial potential, has taken more than 10% of the smartphone market share from foreign firms. This affirms, we Vietnamese people always crave and supporting ‘Make in Vietnam’ products, especially Smartphones,” said Bphone CEO Nguyen Tu Quang. Without VinSmart, the market would only be Bphone, a Vietnamese brand capable of launching new smartphones. However, Bkav’s latest product has been delayed for nearly a year. Besides, Bphone’s market share competitiveness is still not really convincing when sales figures have not been announced.

“I’m really surprised! VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They still have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian countries. Asia, Africa, with cheaper usage,” said Neil Mawston, global head of telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics. Zing . VinSmart’s smartphone production may be hampered by a global chip shortage. When asked if a reason for the decision could be found, Mr. Mawston suggested that the global chip crisis could be a factor. Not just a single name, this crisis is making many smartphone manufacturers difficult. Many firms face difficulties in the global crisis hoảng “In terms of sales volume, VinSmart is still a small smartphone company in terms of scale. I think small firms are suffering the most because of the chip shortage crisis,” said Anshel Sag, an analyst at the company. Moor Insights & Strategy shared with Zing. The crisis of the semiconductor industry began with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. At that time, manufacturers thought that user demand would also decrease. However, the truth is the opposite. Due to long-term stay at home, people buy more technology. They buy more powerful computers, bigger screens to work from home. Children can buy new laptops to study at home. TVs, game consoles, and home appliances all increased sales. Chip companies like TSMC are working at more than 100% capacity to reduce the impact of the chip industry crisis. Photo: Reuters. The pandemic has turned into a month-long shopping festival. Therefore, the demand for chips also increased sharply. In the world, there are only a few outsourcing companies possessing modern technology to provide chips for smartphones. When every industry wants to increase production, the supply cannot meet. “Small firms are at a disadvantage because their scale is not large enough, leading to very thin profit margins. In the smartphone industry, scale is very important. It takes a lot of smartphones to be able to negotiate flexible prices. good conditions,” said Mr. Sag when asked about the difficulties of small smartphone manufacturers. In the first quarter financial report published at the end of April, Apple CEO Tim Cook also warned about chip shortages. The head of Apple said that it was not the demand that fell, but the lack of chip supply was the company’s biggest concern in the second quarter. Apple CEO also acknowledged that the company may face difficulties in the near future because of chip shortages. Photo: Cnet. “We think there will be a problem with supply. The chip shortage will mainly affect iPads and Macs. We also control our demand fairly well, but cannot comment on demand from vendors. different,” the Apple CEO told investors. Haven’t found a solution yet Currently, the smartphone market is only a game of a few big companies. One-time names like Sony accepted to downsize, selling only 400,000 units in the first quarter as they tried to keep the Xperia brand for a while. The chip crisis will make it even more difficult for small-scale smartphone companies in the near future. VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They also have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian and African countries, with fees. cheaper to use. – Neil Mawston, Global Head of Telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics “When producing on a small scale, these companies will be the first affected by the lack of supply, increasing prices. It should also be remembered that suppliers still prioritize serving large, most important customers. theirs,” commented Mr. Anshel Sag. According to Neil Mawston, in addition to the main processor, another component, the screen, also increased in price by about 15%. This is also a consequence of the chip crisis, because every screen on a smartphone must have a control chip. “The pandemic, social distancing, and competition for supplies with other products such as tablets, laptops and electric vehicles have put the smartphone component supply chain in the most stressful state in years.” Mr. Neil Mawston shared. In a recent interview, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said that the chip shortage could last until the end of 2021. Therefore, difficulties are still ahead for many companies producing technology products. Cars are the manufacturing sector hardest hit by chip shortages. Technology manufacturers may also be affected in the near future. Photo: Automotive News. When asked more about VinSmart, Mr. Neil Mawston said that he was surprised because Vsmart smartphones have a certain market share in the domestic market. This analyst believes that this is one of the big advantages to be able to expand into the regional market. “Every major smartphone maker uses the domestic market as a platform to go regional or global. Apple’s iPhone was successful in the US and then expanded to other countries. The story is similar to Huawei in China. Korea, and Samsung in Korea. VinSmart is also open to growth in Southeast Asia. Therefore, we find it difficult to understand when they decide to stop producing smartphones, especially when the opportunity for 5G is very close, “Mr. Mawston said.

VinSmart stops producing phones and televisions On May 9, Vingroup officially announced that VinSmart would stop producing TVs and smartphones to focus resources on developing IoT products and Infotainment features for VinFast cars. Sharing the main reason why VinSmart made such a decision, Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice President and General Director of Vingroup said: “The production of smart phones or smart TVs has no longer brought breakthrough possibilities, Meanwhile, the development of smart cars, smart homes, smart cities brings many benefits and outstanding experiences. force for this spike “. VinSmart factories will continue to produce existing phones and TVs until the end of the product’s life cycle to supply the market. Then part of the factory will be used to outsource to partners, while the rest is expanded to adjust to produce new products. With products sold to the market, VinSmart said it will maintain the warranty and customer care as committed. Vsmart phones sold to the market are still upgraded and updated with software. After stopping production of smartphones, TVs, VinSmart will focus on developing information – entertainment – service (Infotainment) features; research, design and manufacture of electronic components, battery cell systems, complete electric batteries, electric motors for VinFast cars. At the same time, VinSmart still retains research on smart cities, smart homes and IoT devices. VinSmart’s smart home solution appeared at a major urban exhibition late last year and has been operated in two major urban areas, Vinhomes Smart City and Vinhomes Ocean Park. VinSmart retains its research on smart cities, smart homes and IoT devices. Its most prominent smartphone products are Vsmart Joy 3, Vsmart Live 4, phone with front camera hidden under the Vsmart Aris Pro screen. In the TV segment, VinSmart has two main lines of 4K resolution: high-end KE and mid-range KD, with sizes from 43 to 55 inches, priced from VND8.7 million.

According to the new decision, VinSmart will stop the development of televisions and mobile phones, and switch to the development of smart features on vehicles and houses. Before this unexpected information, the public’s opinion was a lot of turmoil. Especially for those who regularly support Vietnamese goods, this is quite sad news. PT readers shared: “Vin has too many embraces. It’s the brightest hour in the car segment, so I hit hard. Unfortunately, Vsmart is okay but cheap. ” Many people feel sad when they lose a low-cost phone company created by Vietnam. In another aspect, many people think that this is the right decision because the current smartphone and television market is saturated, with very little space for development and competition. In addition, Chinese phone companies are also increasingly appearing in the Vietnamese market, making competitiveness in the industry on the rise. The public also commented that, because the business is right there, when Vingroup could not acquire LG, R & D was weak, at this point, the exit strategy is a good strategy. Everything is two-way, when there are many people expressing quite negative emotions to receive this information, there is a part of the public still acknowledging and appreciating what Vsmart has done for the time. by. For example, readers NM from Hanoi shared that: “Vsmart’s mission is like that, it is already complete. I do not know how sales, profit or loss, but thanks to Vsmart, the Vin brand has also reached all classes of users in the country, as a springboard for Vinfast to be born. Information about the warranty of VinSmart phones. In particular, many people have the same question: “Are Vinsmart buyers still under warranty?” Answering this question, Vingroup said that, regarding the products sold to the market, VinSmart commits to maintain the warranty, repair, and care as committed until the date that the customer no longer uses it. more products. In particular, a part of the phone software design department continues to research to upgrade and update Vsmart phones that have been sold to the market. “
