VinSmart Research & Manufacturer Joint Stock Company
VinSmart Research & Manufacturer Joint Stock Company is a member of Vingroup Joint Stock Company – one of the biggest wholly owned conglomerates in Vietnam, specialising in Technology, Industry, Commercials & Services. VinSmart was established in June 2018.[1]
VinSmart and its branding Vsmart are now largely unused brandnames of Vingroup due to the discontinuation of the respective conglomerate high-tech industry arms.
In 2020 the company presented a Vietnam-only VND600,000 (US$26) smartphone, the VSmart Bee Lite, subsidized in cooperation with Viettel. The phone is aimed at popularizing the brand and smartphones in general with the Vietnamese public.[3]

On 9 May 2021, VinSmart decided to stop manufacturing smartphones, marking the end of the 3-year journey of the Vietnamese company in making smartphones.[11] According to Nguyen Viet Quang, vice president and CEO of Vingroup, he said that "smartphones or smart TVs no longer brings breakthroughs and creates unique values for users".[12]
