First Vietnamese-made 5G- smartphone launched
PANO – VinSmart-the technology arm of Vingroup, in cooperation with U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm, developed the very first Vietnamese smartphone supporting 5G, known as Vsmart Aris 5G.
The model was released on July 6, featuring the mid-tier Snapdragon 765 chipset, making it an upper mid-range device. Therefore, VinSmart has become the first Vietnamese company to successfully produce a smartphone that supports 5G technology.
The Vsmart Aris 5G uses Sub-6 GHz frequencies and provides better coverage but lower speeds than mmWave. Nguyen Phi Tuyen, Director of Metrology at the Vietnam Telecommunications Authority said 5G speeds on the Vsmart phone using the Sub-6 frequencies are eight times higher than 4G speeds. The speeds will be further improved in the future when Vinsmart employs mmWave bands.
