All these requirements will be provided for smartphones priced over 4,000 baht.
In the US and some other countries, Pokemon Go has caused a 50% rise in power bank sales, Mr Jarit said, noting that the game causes high battery use because the GPS and app must be open at all times.
The Pokemon Go craze finally hit Thailand on Saturday with enthusiastic players braving freeway traffic to catch the cute critters on their smartphones. Thailand is among 15 Asia-Pacific countries that can play the smash-hit augmented reality game.
