HCM CITY -- Globally, smartphones account for nearly 42 per cent of all phones, and their users expect technologies to evolve rapidly, a technology forum organised yesterday by Vietnamese mobile phone manufacturer Mobiistar and Taiwanese chip manufacturer MediaTek heard.

“Chipsets will be stronger and use less power, quick-charge technology will require less time but increase safety while the quality of cameras will be higher,” Mobiistar’s CEO, Ngô Nguyên Kha, said.

Mobiistar unveiled three new smartphones, Prime X1, PRIME X 2017 and PRIME X PRO, priced at VNĐ3.5-7 million (US$157 – 31).

PRIME X PRO comes with a six-inch screen, stronger chipset and iris (eye) scanner, a technology that comes only in high-end smartphones. -- VNS
