More smartphones are sold as the coronavirus outbreak continues to hit the country.
Smartphone shipments to Thailand surged 70.9% year-on-year in the first quarter to 6.35 million units, buoyed by demand for new handsets to receive the government’s financial assistance, according to International Data Corporation (IDC), a tech market research firm.
The shipments grew 34.2% from the previous quarter, when vendors struggled with supply shortages.
There was new demand from users buying new smartphones or upgrading their devices to be able to receive financial assistance from the government’s Covid-19 stimulus packages through the Pao Tang mobile app, the company indicated in its quarterly mobile phone tracker.
According to IDC, sales of affordable 5G handsets also gathered steam.
