Ayya (smartphone)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AYYA is a smartphone series developed by Rostec. The first and only device in the series as of 2024 is the AYYA T1 which released on 28 October 2021[1] with Android 11 and plans to upgrade to Aurora OS. The T1 sold poorly and was affected by a CPU chip undersupply issue due in part to the supplier TSMC halting trade with Russia in response to the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.[2][3] It has a button which disables the microphone and cameras.[4]
