Market demand for cheap phones-along with the Government's science and technology enterprise investment urgent psychological, resulting in deteriorating conditions of the workers.

三星越南工厂发生暴乱
1月10日消息，据国外媒体报道，三星位于越南的一座在建工厂周四发生了暴乱，建筑工人与当地警方发生了激烈的冲突。此事从某一方面凸显了低价智能手机与平板电脑的消费需求与生产成本间的矛盾。
美联社报道称，在周四的暴乱中，这座建筑规模达20亿美元的工业园到处可见燃烧的摩托车与保安室。包括一名警察在内的11人受伤。为了进一步削减成本，三星准备将部分产能转移至该工厂。
三星在声明中称，此次事件产生的原因，是由于建筑工人与保安在工地安全守则上存在分歧。伤者已被送往附近的医院就医。公司在声明中称，“工程未受影响，今后我们会尽最大努力避免此类事件的发生。”
虽然中国的iPhone制造工厂屡屡曝出“血汗工厂”丑闻，但是在越南以及其他劳动力成本较低的国家，此类事件也是层出不穷。市场对低价手机的需求——连同政府对科技企业招商的迫切心理，导致了工人们的条件恶化。消费电子产业的分析师表示，低端设备是移动行业增长的主要动力，新兴市场更是如此。此外，手持设备商还在不断下调价格，希望更多的人接受智能手机与平板电脑产品。
相反，苹果却更有可能摆脱三星遭遇的这一幕，避免公司声誉受损，因为苹果的iPhone手机仍被定位成一种高端产品。苹果决定不参与价格大战，这让公司对改善工人工作条件有更大的操作余地。
在移动设备的竞争中，只有抢先推出产品、推出最便宜产品的厂商才能取胜。只要这种趋势不变，类似的冲突就还会发生。目前全球仍有数十亿人没有智能手机。
