With the participation of the founder of the company that produced devices under the Highscreen trademark.
Founder of the National Computer Corporation (NCC) Alexander Kalinin starts a project to develop and manufacture a retail line of Android mobile devices. He plans to invest 10 billion rubles in tablets and smartphones for the consumer market, writes "Kommersant".
Devices can be produced at Russian factories or at Chinese enterprises under a contract. Gadgets will be designed by Vadim Kopin, the founder of Vobis Computer, which produced smartphones under the Highscreen trademark.
Kopin noted that the retail price of mobile devices will be 10-30 thousand rubles. The first batch can be released by December - up to 100 thousand pieces. And by 2026, the company plans to occupy up to 10% of the Russian market, selling 3-3.5 million devices.
Experts are skeptical about this idea, believing that the company may have problems with licensing Google services in Russia.
