Representative Bkav said plant capacity in Cau Giay District,
Hanoi, currently meet tens of thousands of products every month but
their new infrastructure will be ready if needs increase.
The first phones technology group Bkav, most likely named Bphone, is attracting great attention on the network. There are not many information about this product from the machine has not been officially announced. However, many people gave different predictions about the device, even
that will not Bphone different from brand phones Vietnam are flooding
the market.
Vu Thanh Thang, vice president shared with VnExpress Bkav misunderstandings about this.
- Smartphone Bkav different from brand phones Vietnam today?
- Vu Thanh Thang: There is a huge difference. Other Companies in Vietnam produced by mode phone ODM (production orders) under two forms. The first is to order foreign partners under their brand is frequently a partner from China. The second form is imported and assembled components for the design available.
Our smartphones are also Bkav research, development, manufacturing manner OEM (original manufacturer), similar to how Sony, Apple, Samsung ... Ie Bkav mastered all stages of design, styling , mechanical design, electronic design, software ... This allows the designs to create individual products and can adapt to the trend of constantly changing technology. Specifically, we use components such as Sharp screen, Qualcomm or memory chips from Toshiba ... This is also the supplier of components for Apple, Samsung ... Also added is the first manufacturer Bkav First in Southeast Asia contracted directly use advanced chips from Qualcomm.
One difference is that segment which Bkav towards the premium segment is not aimed at the budget market as other products had been launched in Vietnam ...
Bkav have multiple suppliers of components for smartphones, of which Qualcomm, Sharp, Toshiba ...
- Many people believe that Vietnam phones produced by means Vietnam must do all stages from production chip, RAM, screen ... Bkav explain anything about this?
- The concept is so not true. A smartphone is constituted by more than 800 electronic components and mechanical. Corresponding to that the hundreds of parts suppliers, which in Vietnam we called ancillary manufacturers. For example, Apple has around 80 suppliers of components for iPhone (even if we include other products are up to 200). Samsung has at least 87 parts suppliers in Vietnam. Bkav also 82 suppliers.
Take this example, to be able to cook a delicious dish as pho, you do not necessarily have to make noodles, home-grown onions, homemade seasoning, salt or have cattle for meat ... that pho Your new. Those things, you just need to market carrying basket or call the supermarket provides home. The problem is you have to have know-how, skilled processing such materials to create tasty pho, your unique style. So Nam Dinh Pho Pho Hanoi flavors, though just as with such materials.
Similarly, to make a smartphone does not necessarily have to do manufacturers all components. No one did that which the manufacturer will provide support for its components. Thus, the most important thing is how the exterior design, with beautiful, modern or not, mechanical design has certainly not, have met for the design, planning stable electronics, software design with intelligent or not ...
- What role can design how the entire process of producing smart phones?
- Design smartphone is never simple when 800 parts have to be put into a tiny device in his palm that we wanted it beautiful and slim, elegant to ensure both the quality use quality performance. For example, if you have a very beautiful new design and slim handset to make it 1 mm only, you will have to change the entire mechanical structure, designed motherboard, components ... Therefore, do home design, you can meet the changing needs instead ordering that is not possible.
In the smartphone value chain production, design is the highest proportion. As everyone knows, the iPhone 6 with $ 18 million, but the parts that are off about 5 million, which means that nearly 100 ancillary providers only share that much. Apple also serve as the master design, technology and trading operations have earned more than 2/3 of the value of the product ..

The design team for smartphones and Smart Home Bkav is now more than 200 people.
- Concerns are very high to Bkav smartphone. If this is converted into sales, factory data Bkav have enough to meet?
- Currently, the capacity of the factory in Cau Giay our response around tens of thousands of products each month. But we are also ready for the infrastructure at the Hoa Lac hi-tech park with an area of 2.3 ha. In case of positive feedback from the market, can quickly increase capacity to a few hundred thousand units per month.
- While many people are still wary about the competitiveness of the products produced by Vietnam, what makes Bkav confident in their products so much?
- First, we have a burning desire to want to change the shyness that. We want to change the perception that Vietnam itself, the product is bad or not the high-tech products.
Secondly, so far the new you know more about the array of Bkav hardware, but the fact we have produced more than 10 years with the field SmartHome - The smart already.
Third, our point is made empty, it must be class products. Your Willpower huge decision to use this product, the fact that we have done and not just a product.

Vu Thanh Thang, Vice President Bkav.
- Many people who have expressed support for smartphones Bkav fearing much hope then disappointment, what do you think about this?
- Actual production in Vietnam has been difficult but also smart phones "have designed the world's most beautiful" is unprecedented, so it is plausible psychology and Bkav very understanding. I think, in fact, they are very excited but did not dare to believe new misgivings. That is why we must be very cautious and want to make, products must meet class. This project we started four years ago, exactly 1,576 as of today's date with more than 200 engineers engaged in development and investment figures in the tens of millions of dollars, but this time the new publication. That is why we make products in the premium segment not as cheap segment, lower level.
