It's worth noting that 80% of Samsung smartphones are manufactured in Vietnam these days. Something people often forget even in today's geopolitical environment.

I wish Samsung used that fact in their marketing, I think it would really play well.

I’m curious how most Americans feel about Vietnam. Yes, it’s been 50 years, but the war was a huge part of a decade of internal turmoil and a pretty significant defeat for our military.

Samsung may feel that it’s risky to trade on that name in the U.S. market.

Vietnam might not be as bad as China but it still doesn't exactly have a stellar human rights record.
