A brand that almost disappeared from the technology world suddenly returned with a new smartphone. Is this a spectacular revival or just a trick to appeal to users' nostalgia?
While the current smartphone race is almost dominated by big names like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and HONOR, a name that seemed to belong to history suddenly reappeared.
Commodore, the brand associated with legendary personal computers in the 1980s and early 1990s, is preparing to return to the smartphone market. This information quickly attracted the attention of the technology community because Commodore was once a symbol of a golden age before being surpassed by competitors.

The selling price has not yet been officially announced
The price expected by many experts is in the range
From 7,000,000 VND to 12,000,000 VND
