Russia suffers from commercial and technological isolation because of its invasion of Ukraine: most brands have fled the country. And given the difficulty of importing smartphones, the Russians have decided to make theirs: the AQ M11 phone He is approved by the Putin government himself. It is an Android 11 based on AOSP without Google Services, modified with Russian national software.
The purchase of a Samsung in Russia is not directly possible, nor other international brands, such as Apple, for example. Most foreign products are opposed to the veto in the country, without it implying that they are not distributed: the import market is as popular as they are lucrative. China captures most sales in Russia, greater than 70% (figures for 2023). Given this panorama, the local industry is looking for a pinch.
AQ M11 phone, a Russian smartphone that is tired of China
The telephone in question is the fruit of a collaboration between two Russian companies: TP Labs, computer expert and soft network, software developer and with a linux distribution specially intended for work machines and servers: Redos. As explained on their website, collaboration is reflected in a Mobile mobalentBecause it can operate in two different ways.
The AQ M11 phone, a name that has been put on the phone, includes an Asop Android as a mobile software base to which the usual applications have been added in Russia and a slight personalization of the native interface. In addition, the AQ M11 phone takes advantage of the experience of the flexible network to add a Complete the desktop mode on the phone; It can be used by connecting it to a monitor, with its mouse and keyboard. Red OS M, a reduced version of the company's distribution, is in charge of the aforementioned mode.
Companies ensure that the development and assembly of AQ Telephone M11 are entirely Russian. The software is suitable by Soft Red and telephone assembly, as well as its design, are in charge of TP laboratories. Yes, the scope of the mother of Russia ends there, since The components are all Chinese. Starting with the processor, a seven -year -old Mediatek brain.

The effort of independence of Russia collides with a reality: no manufacturer can escape China and its supply chain (to ask Apple). TP Labs underlines manufacturing within Russian borders and their certification by the Putin government: obtained the register of the Department of Digital Development No19638, on October 18, 2023. Consequently, it is a mobile that meets Russian security and confidentiality standards.
China is the only country capable of making a complete mobile
The desktop mode works on the mobile and on the screen connected to the phone
Russia's attempt to dodge commercial blockages has its merit, although it is enough to take a look inside the AQ M11 phone to see that he does not have too much future in the majority public. Any imported Chinese mobile offers greater power and quality: Mediatak Helio P35 is clearly obsolete on a current smartphone. It is surely the best thing they could import into Russia without the alarms jumping.
The AQ M11 phone is an attempt at technological independence which sends the basis of software and hardware: Russia uses Android and Linux for the first and Chinese components for the second. Because reality is that only China is independent in technology: brands like Huawei can design, manufacture and equip a phone without going to another country. Even the United States could not do it.
