Masscom Viet Nam last Saturday unveiled a new budget smartphone targeted at customers aged between 16 and 35.

The phone, which has a five-inch screen, 13-MP camera and is just 6.6-mm thick, is an optimal choice for consumers who are looking for an affordable super smartphone that also has key features, the Vietnamese company said.

The smartphone is powered by Android™ 4.4 KitKat, the latest version of the world's most popular smartphone operating system, and has stunning graphical performance, fast page transitions and an upgraded Google Now service, featuring contextual search.  

Priced at VND3 million (US$140), the aluminium uni-body phone has a 1.3-GHz chipset, 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM.

The Ha Noi-based company said that the new phone will be available from December 30. Buyers can order it online at www.massgo.vn with free shipment within Viet Nam.
