Thailand recorded the largest 5G-enabled smartphone shipments in Asean last year, buoyed by broader availability of 5G handsets, pent-up demand and Covid-19 government subsidies, says IT market research company IDC.

"We see 5G-enabled smartphones contributed more than one-third of the total market in Thailand in the last quarter and full year of 2021 thanks to Apple's iPhones and affordable Android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy A52s, vivo Y76 and Redmi Note 10," said Teerit Paowan, client devices market analyst at IDC Thailand.
