According to Zykov, the phone will work on the Russian operating system "ROSA Mobile", but even the developers of this OS do not hide that it is based on the open source Linux OS. The system is expected to be compatible with Android applications.
"R-Fon", as stated in the message, will have a Media Tek Helio G99 processor, 6.7 "display, a 50-megapixel main camera, 8 gigabytes of operational and 128 gigabytes of permanent memory, as well as a 5000 mAh battery. In the Russian market a smartphone with exactly the same characteristics and a similar processor costs almost three times cheaper than R-Fon: for example, the Chinese device Tecno Pova 5, which differs from the "Russian phone" only in that it has a more capacious battery, can be bought for 14470 rubles.
As The Wall Street Journal wrote in 2007, Leonid Reiman, who owns the Rutek company will produce R-Fon, appeared in an investigation by German law enforcement agencies - they investigated cases of bribery by Siemens of Russian partners in order to obtain lucrative contracts. Among the recipients of the kickbacks was Reiman's offshore IPOC fund (he himself denied involvement in it), which owned a significant stake in the Megafon mobile operator. Reiman also headed the Board of Directors of Svyazinvest, which in May 2002 signed a contract with Siemens for the supply of equipment worth about $150 million. Siemens then denied any connection with Reiman and denied allegations of bribing an official.
