In Russia it will be impossible to buy smartphones more expensive than $ 300: US sanctions are valid

New sanctions can affect all the devices with American electronic filling, not just those produced in the US. The ban on the supply of gadgets, which is higher than $ 300, forced some intermediaries from the Middle East to refuse to help Russian distributors and retailers for the so -called "parallel import". This was stated by Russian "Izvestia", citing their own sources.

According to the interlocutor of the publication, driven by the US government against Russia through the war -solved war, all devices with electronics created by American technologies may concern in general. The same applies to gadgets from manufacturers from South Korea and China. In addition, the representative of the management of the law company Enterprise Legal Solutions Yuriy Fedyukin said that new sanctions are cross -border.

According to legal standards, they only apply to companies registered in the United States. However, all brands that have assets on the territory of the state are in fact. Yes, Apple, Samsung, as well as a manufacturer with Chinawei, fall under the restriction. Fedykin also stated that the ban on the supply of smartphones, which is higher than $ 300, applies to almost all brands.

However, the Ministry of Promotor of the Russian Federation noted that they did not have information about the termination of deliveries to distributors. The Russian electronics manufacturer GS Group shared, according to which 27. 5 million smartphones were supplied in the Russian Federation in 2022. This is 22% less than in 2021, and 75% of the entire market was occupied by Chinese brands. The proportion of South Korean gadgets Samsung decreased from 32% to 14%.

And here is the proportion of "apple" devices from 14. 1% to 7. 7%. Earlier, we reported why in Russia will never be able to create a "sovereign" smartphone. Following the application for "import substitution", even local experts doubt the opportunity to create a Russian smartphone that could have been successful with the consumer. Also we will remind that in Russia now it is impossible to use "hostile" software.
