1. Sensible Smartphone Selections for Students Post Lunar New Year
With savings amassed post Lunar New Year, students can easily own rather impressive smartphones.
The year 2016 brings forth a plethora of excellent choices for students, low-income earners, or those largely dependent on their families. Alongside the savings accumulated after Lunar New Year, many young people have the opportunity to own the smartphones they desire. Below are the most desirable products in the current market priced under 5 million VND – a price range considered suitable to provide the best experiences for young people. Note that all smartphones mentioned are genuine products distributed through various supermarkets, large and small phone retail chains nationwide.
Oppo's smartphones have long been adored by Vietnamese youth for their remarkable brand recognition and, of course, their exceptional selfie capabilities, with Oppo A39 being a prime example.
This phone boasts a large 5.2-inch display with HD 720p resolution. The screen is curved 2.5D and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Oppo A39 features a 5MP front camera with f/2.4 aperture. On the rear, it sports a 13MP camera with f/2.2 aperture.
In terms of hardware, Oppo A39's hardware configuration stops at a modest level with the use of an MT6750 8-core 64-bit chip from MediaTek. This chip is also currently used by its predecessor, Oppo F1s. Oppo A39 comes with 3GB RAM, 32GB internal memory, and a 2990mAh battery.
J5 Prime is equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core chip, 2GB RAM, and 16GB internal memory. This is a modest configuration but with an HD resolution screen, users still have smooth experiences. The Antutu Benchmark scores over 36,000, a respectable number for a 5-million VND smartphone.
It's worth noting that the screen technology on the J5 Prime is not PLS TFT but instead is traditional IPS LCD. Fundamentally, PLS and IPS don't have much difference, with colors on the J5 Prime being very accurate and high brightness aiding clear outdoor visibility. Additionally, the phone is equipped with a pair of 13MP f/1.9 and 5MP f/2.2 cameras.
If you're in search of a smartphone with impressive battery life, lightning-fast fingerprint sensor in a compact design, then ZenFone 3 Max is the ultimate choice. The device runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow platform with a quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, and 32GB internal storage.
Furthermore, ZenFone 3 Max also features a dual-camera setup with 13MP and 5MP resolution along with a 4100mAh battery, supporting dual SIM. The screen size on ASUS's product is 5.2 inches, HD resolution. Another noteworthy feature, ZenFone 3 Max has the ability to charge other smartphones via OTG cable, making it a substitute for power banks when needed.
Galaxy J7 2016 is the largest-screen smartphone in the list of smartphones for students with a size of up to 5.5 inches but with HD resolution.
Galaxy J7 2016 is equipped with an octa-core 7580 chip, 1.5GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, and a 3000mAh battery. Additionally, the dual-camera setup of 13MP and 5MP provides excellent experiences in various conditions. J7 2016 is also one of the best-selling smartphone models in late 2016.
