On March 2, Apple announced the suspension of product sales in Russia and restricted Russian users from using Apple Pay; after Apple's official news, the price of iPhones in Russia rose sharply, and the price of many iPhones rose by 30%; of course, after the existing iPhones in Russia were sold, they basically would not get new iPhones.
Apple is one of the largest mobile phone manufacturers in Russia, last year's market share of up to 13%, ranking third in Russia; the top three Russian market share are Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple, after Apple announced that it would stop selling iPhones to Russia, Samsung officially announced today that it would stop selling smartphones, chips and other products to Russia.
Samsung is russia's largest mobile phone manufacturer, the market share of up to 30%, this proportion is very amazing; with Apple, Samsung stopped selling smartphones to Russia, Russian consumers can choose a lot less products, Russian young people very much like the iPhone, iPhone is also russia's highest-end smartphone sales.
Interestingly, the flagship mobile phone released by Samsung some time ago- Galaxy S22 series, still has a lot of publicity space on the Russian official website, and the Galaxy M series and Galaxy A series currently have a lot of preferential treatment; Samsung could have gained a higher market share in Russia by virtue of the new product launch and the promotion of the old product, but now it is impossible.
Samsung's Galaxy A series, Galaxy M series is Russia's best-selling smartphone series, these two series dominate the Russian mobile phone sales list for many years; of course, galaxy A series and Galaxy M series are also Samsung's shipping force, in most countries and regions have good sales, ranking very high.
Although Russia is one of the world's largest countries, but the country does not have a mainstream mobile phone brand, the current Russian market, the mainstream mobile phone brand is nothing more than the United States Apple, South Korea's Samsung and China's millet, glory, Realme, etc.; in this case, mobile phone manufacturers are restricted from supply, Russia may face no mobile phone sales of the embarrassing situation.
At present, it is not known whether Xiaomi, Glory, realme will stop supplying to Russia, but it should be noted that these three brands have adopted the Snapdragon chip of Qualcomm in the United States, and components such as Samsung screen, memory, flash memory, and CMOS have also appeared on the smartphones of Xiaomi, Glory, Realme and other brands on a large scale, so after Samsung stops supplying to Russia, these brands will also face unknown risks.
