VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnamese hi-tech product distributors
have been actively advertising for China-made tablets, because the products can
bring super-profit to them.
Every Chinese tablet is sold in
Vietnam at the price double the original price. Meanwhile, manufacturers can also
rifle consumers’ pockets by “fabricating” the features of the products.
A dealer has revealed that a
Chinese tablet could be bought at 1.3-1.8 million dong, while wholesale buyers
can enjoy the discount rate of 200,000-500,000 dong per product. Meanwhile,
they can re-sell the products in Vietnam at the sky-high price levels.
A Hipad Mid A13 has the quoted
price at 1.55 million dong in Vietnam. Meanwhile, the products have been
available on Alibaba.com at 30-45 dollars, or 600,000-900,000 dong.
An Ondan V971 which is offered on
Alibaba.com at 150-190 dollars, have been available at Vietnamese shops at 4.8
million dong. An Ampe A85 is sold at 3.3 million dong in Vietnam, while the
cost price is just 71-82 dollars for the order of 500 products.
As such, every Chinese tablet in
Vietnam is twice as expensive as in China. This allows dealers earning fat
profits of hundreds of thousands of dong or one million dong for every product
sold in Vietnam.
Chinese tablets have been
flooding the Vietnamese market. These include the products bearing Chinese own
brands such as Teclast, Onda or Ampe and the counterfeit products bearing
foreign well-known brands. Of course, no one knows the information about the
manufacturers.
Ben, a well-known Chinese
electronics dealer, who has been providing products to big computer shops in
Hai Phong, Hanoi and Bac Giang province, affirmed that Chinese manufacturers
can provide any products demanded by clients, from low cost to expensive
products, from Chinese brand goods to counterfeit iPads.
Ben also said that “Chinese
products are so cheap that they can bring profits to everyone.” A lot of
Vietnamese companies have been set up as tablet distribution companies, which
import Chinese tablets, then give the products Vietnamese brands and sell on
the market as Vietnamese products.
A Vietnamese tablet brand has
launched MD 803 model which is believed to be 100 percent similar to a model of
Chinese KNC (8 inch, Allwinner chip, A13, RAM 512MB, 8GB memory).
On Alibaba, the product has been
sold at 83 dollars. Meanwhile, in Vietnam it is priced at 4.6 million dong.
Momo tablets bearing a Vietnamese
brand have been found as similar to Chinese Momo 9 (7 inch). The information
about the Chinese product can be found on a big Vietnamese technology forum.
The only difference between the Vietnamese and Chinese products lies in the
camera: the Vietnamese model has one megapixel camera, while the Chinese one
1.3.
Momo 9 has been sold at 91-100
dollars on Alibaba, while Vietnamese Momo at 2.48 million dong.
When asked about the model, an
officer of a computer shop said that the company’s factory is set up in China,
but the design, branding and sale have been untaken by the headquarters in
Vietnam.
According to Nguyen Viet Anh, a
tablet dealer, there are four factors that decide the production cost of
tablets. The first three ones are the screen, chip and 3G feature, the
information about which can be easily found. Meanwhile, the information about
the fourth factor – circuit board – can only be found if “taking apart the
products.”
