Since the beginning of the year, smartphones in Russia have risen in price by 12-15%
October 28th. /MEDIA TALK/. On Monday, October 28, it became known that in January-September 2024 smartphones in Russia rose in price by 12-15% compared to the same period in 2023. Izvestia wrote about this with reference to market participants.

The main reason for the company's dynamics was the increased exchange rate of the US dollar, which was reflected, among other things, in the cost of logistics and related services. The growth of the Central Bank's key interest rate also negatively affected the market, as it affects the cost of borrowed funds for suppliers and retailers.
