HANOI - Chinese brands of cell phones will dominateVietnamese market in the near future not only becausethey are cheaper but also because of their excellentquality, according to a top official of a Chinese globalmobile phone manufacturing firm.

According to the director, who requested anonymity, hisfirm is now putting in the Vietnamese market with cheapand reliable mobile phones and smart phones.

As of the first half of 2013, Lenovo almost remained theonly Chinese brand in Vietnam's mobile phone market.

But even without any advertising campaign, Lenovo quietlyrose to be the top brand now in the market, surpassingKorean and Western-made brands.

In October 2013, a new Chinese brand called Oppo joinedthe market. It is being distributed locally by Vietnam'sMilitary Telecom Corporation (Viettel).

Oppo has increased its sales after massive promotion and marketing operation through thelocal media outlets.

In the first launching month, Oppo's revenues in Vietnamese market reached 30 billionVietnamese dong (nearly $1.5 million), much higher than the expectations of distributors,according to a report in VNEconomy online newspaper on Thursday.

Despite its late arrival here, the Oppo brand has made a tremendous jump in sales through itsretail outlets such as Viettel, World Mobile, FPT, and Vien Thong A, among others.

"Because of our good quality and product design, plus the right approach to customers, wehave earned high revenues during the last few months," one Oppo official said.

After Oppo, Huawei, the world's third largest phone producer, started selling its smart phonesin Vietnam in 2013 through its various distribution outlets.

Other Chinese names in smart phone race in Vietnam are Haier and Gionee. There are highpossibilities that ZTE and Xiaomi will soon enter the Vietnamese market, said VNEconomyonline newspaper.

Certainly, the Chinese brands are giving the well-known global brands such as Samsung,Apple and Nokia, a run for their money.
 
They would throw those phones into the trashcan soon.
Lenovo phone is not similar to Lenovo laptop ... those are scraps, same to Oppo, ... or fake Iphone ...

Vietnamese people keep buying Chinese brands.
 
Vietnamese buy Chinese brands.
That's all that matters.

You Chinese don't buy Chinese brands ?

50 bucks a month can afford a second hand Oppo for poor Vietnamese

10-20$ for a Samsung phone ( Made in Vietnam ) with Sim-free are enough for poor people ...

How much you pay for Apple to get the Made in China Iphone ?

China Telecom sell at 5,288 Yuan (874 USD ) for lowest option ???

Just saturate the local market。:D
 
Terrible quality ... but cheap.
That's not my choice
you troll ... you should feel funny to your own writing ..

You should be considered a more prominent troll. I am guessing you've never held an Oppo phone in your life, and you comments are actually very biased.
When you've said, "Terrible Quality", I know you've lost all credibility in your judgment on smart phones. Do some research on Oppo phones, jacka$$.

The new brand OnePlus just launched their first phone 'One' for around 350 USD.

OnePlus is a branch out company from Oppo. Keep a watch on it. The phone will be a rival in terms of built quality and specs.

China's smartphone maker Xiaomi set to dial India, to enter 10 countries in 2014

China's smartphone maker Xiaomi set to dial India, to enter 10 countries in 2014

NEW DELHI: Smartphone maker Xiaomi is all set to enter India this year, making it the sixth brand from China to pitch for a share of the highly competitive market which is counted as among the world's fastest growing. "Xiaomi is coming to 10 countries in 2014. Malaysia, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Russia, Turkey, Brazil and Mexico," the company said through its official handle @xiaomi on micro blogging site Twitter, where it has over 14,000 followers.

The announcement comes a day after the device-maker that only sells online changed its website to mi.com and just a month after president and co-founder Lin Bin and vice-president and head of overseas expansion, Hugo Barra, visited Delhi for a series of meetings, including one with Google India's top executives.

India's smartphone shipments in 2013 swelled 181% year-on-year to 41 million and is expected to double this year, underlining the huge growth potential for smartphone makers.

However, Xiaomi will face multi-fold competition from international phone makers, including Samsung, Apple and Sony, home-bred companies such as Micromax, Karbonn and Lava, besides other Chinese brands Gionee, Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo that are aggressively marketing their products to consumers.

"One of the key success factors for Xiaomi in China (apart from devices with high end features at affordable costs) is that they've successfully managed to engage the consumers in their product development and marketing," said Jayanth Kolla, co-founder and partner at telecom research firm Convergence Catalyst.

They have a strong and loyal customer base, who provides key inputs on Xiaomi's devices and services features.

If they manage to replicate this model in India, they'll be highly successful, he added. He noted that most of smartphone makers in India primarily focus on devices sales and invest very little in customer engagement.

"The youth in India has matured in terms of smartphone ecosystem and any company that can tap their feedback and engage them in return will be successful in this market," Kolla said.

Xiaomi has a few other advantages that may work in its favour. If it launches sales online - a model that it has adopted so far - it will save on distribution costs.
