Not only is it a race to apply new technologies in smartphones, the series of phones recently launched are widely chosen by Vietnamese users thanks to their "solid" features - which were often found on feature phones many years ago.
New standard of 'copper pot and stone mortar'
Having been on shelves in Vietnam for less than 10 days, the X9c product line (priced from 7.99 - 9.49 million VND) of the Honor brand quickly attracted the attention of users with the announcement of its ability to "resist breakage when dropped from a height of up to 2m, achieving 5-star certification from SGS Switzerland".
SGS is a Swiss-based multinational company, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification specialist.
Previously, the product also set a Guinness World Record for the most people dropping a product at the same time at an experience event in Manila, Philippines on January 6 this year.
According to Honor representatives, they used a new generation of shock-resistant screens that allow for superior impact absorption, "ensuring maximum durability even when falling freely from a height of 2m at all angles".
In addition, the tempered glass is designed in a curved shape to protect the edges and increase overall durability by up to 166% compared to the previous version.
The Honor X9c is also IP65M water and dust resistant (M stands for 360° protection against water jets). It is also said to operate stably in a temperature range of -30°C to 55°C.
Launched at the same time, the Redmi Note 14 Series (priced from 4.99 - 10.99 million VND) of the Xiaomi brand also created no less attraction when it was introduced as "the most durable ever of the Redmi Note series" and equipped with All-Star Armor Structure technology, making the product resistant to drops, water, and scratches.
Besides that, there is Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and IP68 dust and water resistance...
Redmi Note 14 Series surpassed 20,000 orders after only 4 days of opening for sale in the Vietnamese market.
Smartphones must not only be high-end but also durable.
Equally impressive is the Reno13 Series (priced from 8.99 - 18.99 million VND) which recorded more than 20,000 early orders, an increase of over 130% compared to the previous generation Reno12 Series.
The product can withstand a depth of 2m underwater for 30 minutes without any protective equipment. Furthermore, the device can also withstand high-pressure water jets at temperatures up to 80°C, protecting the device even in harsh conditions.

All three Reno 13 Pro, Reno 13 and Reno 13F models feature frames made from aerospace-grade aluminum for 200% greater durability than plastic frames, 20% increased bend resistance and 36% increased drop resistance.
Meanwhile, the Poco X7 smartphone (selling price 7.29 million VND) uses solid-state electrolyte technology to help the device operate stably at -10°C, providing up to 24 hours of talk time and up to 66 hours of standby time.
Meanwhile, the Poco X7 Pro product (selling price 8.99 - 9.99 million VND) meets IP68 standards, is water resistant at a depth of 1.5m for 30 minutes and dustproof, ensuring durability...
Commenting on the trend of users choosing to buy smartphones that are not only high-end but also durable, Ms. Anh Hong, marketing director of the 24hStore retail system, said: “Factors such as impact, dropping, or contact with water are common situations in daily life.
Owning a smartphone that is “solid and sturdy” is very important. Phones that are water-resistant, dust-resistant or shock-resistant will always be the priority choice.”
Economics in purchasing decisions
According to Ms. Anh Hong, in the context of an unstable economy, consumers tend to look for products with long-term use value. A durable smartphone will help them reduce repair and replacement costs.
In addition, with durable products, the resale value is also higher than normal products. This makes users feel more secure when investing in a "solid" smartphone.
The trend of choosing to buy smartphones that are not only high-end but also durable is becoming more and more popular, reflecting real needs and modern consumer psychology.
With the development of technology and fierce competition between brands, the series of "solid" products will continue to dominate the market and become the preferred choice of many consumers.
