Vietnamese mobile phone manufacturer Mobiistar’s annual Techforum opened Thursday in HCM City with the theme “The way to artificial intelligence in smart phones”.

Mediatek, a Taiwanese chipset producer and long-term partner of Mobiistar, updated the delegates on the development trends in the technology world with a focus on AI and introduced its first chipset P22 meant for AI.

Mobiistar introduced its latest offering, the Mobiistar X with an octa-core chipset P22 chipset and camera equipped with AI technology for quick recognition, rapid processing and fine pictures.

It has dual 16 and 5MP back cameras and a 16MP selfie camera.

It comes with 4GB RAM, 32GB memory and a 3,000mAh battery and costs a very competitive VND4.6 million (US$200).

In May this year Mobiistar entered the Indian market, and its five best selfie camera smart phones are sold in 10 states there.

“India is one of biggest smart phone markets in the world with a population of over one billion and growth in smartphone sales of 18 per cent last year making it a very promising market for Mobiistar,” Ngo Nguyen Kha, CEO of the company, said.

The budget smartphones with good cameras have achieved early success in the market, he added. — VNS
