Locals are big winners as high cellphone technology is brought to Bangladesh

DHAKA — The new ISMARTU factory of Transsion Holdings opened recently in the Meghna Industrial Economic Zone, Narayanganj, on the outskirts of Bangladesh capital Dhaka, with workers diligently assembling and producing mobile phones.

Transsion, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, is one of the leading Chinese smartphone makers in Bangladesh and has become a household name in the country as well as elsewhere in the region in recent years.

Now Transsion is running its second factory in Bangladesh to meet the enormous demand for smartphones in the local area and grab a bigger share of South Asia's growing smartphone market.
