1. Top Smartphone Discounts in June 2017
The most significant discounts in June were on Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7, and Xperia XA Ultra, with reductions of up to one million dong.
Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 2017 (discounted by one million dong)
After approximately six months since their launch in the Vietnamese market, both Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 smartphones have undergone their first price adjustments. A reduction of one million dong has been applied to both Samsung models.
The price of the Galaxy A5 2017, previously at 8.99 million dong last month, has now dropped to 7.99 million dong. As for the Galaxy A7 2017, its price has been adjusted from 10.99 million dong to 9.99 million dong.
Both the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 have attracted significant attention from Vietnamese users, even selling thousands of units before their official release. With the new prices, the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 2017 are likely to continue dominating the mid-range segment from now until the end of 2017.
The Oppo F3 (discounted by 500,000 dong)
The Oppo F3, one of the biggest competitors of the Galaxy A5 in the mid-range segment, has also seen a significant price adjustment in June. From 7.5 million dong last month, the retail price of the Oppo F3 has been adjusted to 6.99 million dong by mid-June.
While the Galaxy A5 is highly regarded for its water resistance, the Oppo F3 excels in selfie capability with its dual cameras. Impressive selfie performance is a strong point of Oppo smartphones.
Additionally, another notable feature of the Oppo F3 is the introduction of a Home button using force touch technology. This new Home button is also equipped with a fingerprint sensor.
Sony Xperia XA Ultra (discounted by 500,000 dong)
The Sony Xperia XA Ultra is the latest addition to last month's discount list. This smartphone has just been adjusted in terms of its retail price, with a reduction of 500,000 dong. Consequently, the new price for the Sony Xperia XA Ultra will be 7.49 million dong instead of the previous 6.99 million dong.
Compared to other mid-range smartphones, the Xperia XA Ultra stands out thanks to its beautiful and glossy design. With its super thin screen bezels, the Xperia Ultra also leaves a strong impression on those who are holding the phone for the first time. Good camera quality is also one of the strengths of this smartphone.
One aspect that many people dislike about the Xperia XA Ultra is that the navigation buttons are designed inside the screen. This means users will lose a considerable amount of screen space.
Galaxy Note 5 (discounted by 1 million dong)
June also witnessed a significant price adjustment for the Galaxy Note 5. From the price of 12 million dong, many retail systems in the country have simultaneously adjusted the retail price of the Galaxy Note 5, pushing the machine's price down to 10.99 million dong.
After two years on the Vietnamese market, this is considered the final discount period for the Galaxy Note 5 before the model is discontinued to make way for newer models.
Despite being on the market for quite some time, the Galaxy Note 5 continues to be sought after by many users due to the convenience of the S-Pen stylus and its innovative features. Additionally, the unexpected incident with the Galaxy Note 7 has contributed to increased sales of this phone.
An interesting point is that the Galaxy Note 7 is set to return to the market as refurbished units. Once this model returns as the Galaxy Note 7R or Galaxy Note 7 FE, the Galaxy Note 5 may face difficulties in maintaining its position.
Oppo F1S 2016 (discounted by 1 million dong)
In addition to the Oppo F3, another Oppo product, the Oppo F1S, has also seen a significant price adjustment in June. The new price for this Oppo phone is 4.99 million dong, a reduction of 1 million dong from the previous price of 5.99 million dong.
It's worth noting that with the widespread availability of the Oppo F1S 2017, not many retail stores continue to sell the 2016 version of the Oppo F1S.
Despite not having a particularly impressive specification in the mid-range segment, the Oppo F1S has achieved great success for Oppo due to its focus on the selfie feature of the product. With a 16 MP front camera combined with many beauty-enhancing features, the Oppo F1S is the choice of many female users and those who do not have high requirements for specifications and entertainment-oriented features.
