While Korean media reported that Samsung is cutting smartphone production in Vietnam, Indonesia sees its smartphone market grow 11.5% in first-quarter 2022 with Oppo dominating the market.

As a whole, the notebook market has seen a reversal in demand, with consumer models bearing the brunt of sales downturn. Shipments of education-use Chromebooks, which played a pioneering role in the past two years, have hit bottom due to government budget constraints.
