"Commercial 5G operations in Vietnam are only likely to start in 2021. Local player, Vinsmart, has started selling smartphones outside Vietnam, in countries including Spain, Myanmar and Russia and is planning to enter more SEA markets in 2020 as well as launching its first 5G smartphone. However, none of the countries where it is currently present are likely to see a fast 5G transition. In such a scenario, Vinsmart should reconsider the markets it focuses on to help it enter the broadening group of smartphone OEMs that will have 5G devices next year across different price points and markets." – Tarun Pathak
