TL;DR
Even though Samsung phones are partly assembled in Vietnam, retail prices in Nha Trang are usually not lower than back home and can even be higher; travelers mention markets like Cho Lon, but no clear cheap chain store was confirmed by locals.
One traveler suggested buying a Samsung phone at chain electronics stores present in Nha Trang, such as Cellphones, FPT Shop, and TheGioiDiDong (Thế Giới Di Động), noting the price depends on the exact model.
One traveler explained that having a Samsung factory in Vietnam doesn't mean cheap retail prices — the factory doesn't sell phones to the public at cost, so new smartphone prices in Nha Trang are similar to or higher than back home.
A traveler noted the paradox that even though Samsung is manufactured in Vietnam, phones are often cheaper back home — worth comparing prices in advance rather than expecting a local discount.
When asked about a store with original Samsung accessories in Nha Trang, no specific address was given in the chat — travelers suggest sticking to official Samsung service centers/stores in the city rather than markets, to avoid counterfeits.
A traveler looking for a cheap Samsung phone mentioned the Cho Lon market in Nha Trang, asking if a phone could be bought there — no other traveler confirmed this, so it's worth checking price and authenticity on the spot.
