Domestic AYYA T1 smartphones from "Smartecosystem", a division of Rostec, have failed to gain popularity among consumers.
According to "Vedomosti", the demand for AYYA T1 smartphones has been extremely low. The devices have been available in retail since October 2021, but only 905 units have been sold in a year and a half.
Two independent sources connected to different retail chains confirmed this information to "Vedomosti". During the specified period, approximately 5,000 smartphones were imported into Russia, which means that actual sales amounted to approximately 18% of the total supply from the Chinese factory where the smartphones were assembled.
Even discounts are not able to increase sales. Initially, the smartphone cost 19,000 rubles, but now it can be purchased on Ozon for 12,000 rubles, on "Yandex Market" for 13,420 rubles, and in "M.Video – Eldorado" for only 7,499 rubles.
