Leonid Reiman, co-owner of both companies, called the released product only the first version, not without "teething problems", but he promised that as updates appear, which will be released quarterly, the noticed shortcomings, including those reported by users, will be eliminated. At the same time, he called this product responsive not only to current, but also future demands of Russian consumers.

believes that on December 18, NTC IT ROSA and Rutek india whatsapp number database presented, by and large, a prototype: “Something working will appear in March-April 2024, when a real commercial development grows out of the prototype. But this application has the right to exist. In 2024, the Ministry of Digital Development will formulate requirements for domestic mobile OS, and one of them will be the safety of data after installing an operating system update. Only Aurora and ROSA Mobile meet this requirement in Russia. All other developments are based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and do not meet this criterion. The difference between ROSA Mobile and Aurora is in the approach to ensuring security. But we did not hear answers to very important questions, in particular, about which companies are already testing this platform. The developers have big plans, but the main thing is how the devices will be used in practice. Prospects there is, and "Aurora" certainly needs competition. In addition, large corporations have gained experience in developing for Linux, which will allow them to port software in a short time. But the question is who uses what on the Linux desktop and how convenient it is for end users."

The developer of the mobile OS "Aurora", backed by Rostelecom, also positions it for the B2B and B2G segments. Director of Strategic Development of Open Mobile Platform LLC Alexey Kogan said at the CIPR forum in June 2023 that "Aurora" as a product is completely ready for the corporate segment. The creator of "ROSA Mobile" is not afraid of competition. "The times are gone when an IT solution could be imposed on a consumer in the public or corporate sector. Now, any customer prioritizes ease of use, reliability and security, so competition and freedom of choice come first," Oleg Karpitsky told a ComNews correspondent.

"Rutek" emphasizes the safety of R-FON devices. "All printed circuit boards, final assembly, testing, radio frequency tuning and software installation are carried out in Russia," said Dmitry Ivannikov. On October 18, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Trade included the "Rutek RT001" smartphone in the register of domestic radio-electronic products. According to Oleg Karpitsky, the developer expects to receive the FSTEC certificate for the ROSA Mobile OS in early 2024.

Until a decent number of applications appear in the ROSA Market app store, NTC IT ROSA has provided full support for applications for the Android platform. Access to the Play app store for Android can create threats to information security. As Vladimir Zykov explained, ROSA Mobile settings allow you to prohibit access to Google Play if this contradicts the corporate information security policy.
