Samsung will meet the requirements of Russia’s controversial law requiring smartphone makers to sell their devices with government-approved pre-installed software, the company told Russian news agency RIA Novosti Monday.
“Samsung Electronics will be ready to meet the requirements of the Russian legislation provided by the regulator and adapt the company’s activities in accordance with the adopted regulations,” said a company statement cited by RIA.
The new rules, which have been dubbed the “law against Apple”, sailed through Russia’s parliament last year and are set to come into force this summer. The government is currently finalizing the exact list of applications electronics makers will have to pre-install on all smartphones, tablets and computers sold on the Russian market.
