Since October last year, the smartphone market has continuously welcomed new products from major manufacturers.
Smartphone models with various prices, from “budget” to high-end, ranging from 1,000 yuan (3.5 million dong) to hundreds of thousands of yuan (tens of millions of dong) have been continuously launched into the market.
It is expected that in the next month, 3-4 new models will continue to be launched, and this trend will continue until September-October when the new product launch cycle begins again. However, the selling prices of the products, especially the flagships, have continuously decreased after their launch.
According to the record, some flagship models such as Samsung S24 Ultra have been reduced by 2,000 yuan (about 7 million dong) just after 2 months of launch. Similarly, other flagship products of Chinese brands also decreased by about 500 yuan in the same period.
Even the “benchmark” for the smartphone market, Apple’s iPhone 15, is not immune to this price reduction trend.

There are many reasons for the sharp decline in flagship prices. One of the main reasons is that the popularity of these products is not as high as expected. When market demand is low, manufacturers are forced to lower prices to attract buyers.
In addition, the continuous launch of new smartphone models also reduces the value of old models. Users tend to wait for new things with more advanced technology, leading to old models becoming sluggish and having to be discounted to sell on the market.
According to experts, consumers should carefully consider before buying flagship models of any brand, especially when new products are launched.
Instead of rushing to buy the latest products at high prices, users can choose mid-range or low-priced models with stable prices and good performance.
With today’s diverse phone market, users can completely find a smartphone that suits their needs and budget, without having to chase after expensive flagships that quickly depreciate.
Some notes when buying a smartphone:
Determine usage needs. Users need to clearly define the purpose of use to choose a suitable product. For example, if you only need to use it for basic tasks such as calling, texting, and surfing the web, it is not necessary to buy a flagship with a high price.
