They won't stop buying a phone they perceive to be of good quality because the company that made it also sold it for someone they (should allegedly, according to the narrative) dislike.

Anonymous, 31 Jul 2023I don't think Samsung is authorizing this. My guess is... moreSurely Samsung knows all the IMEI's that they send to each distributor. They'll see these connect to their servers from Russia and know where they came from.

If anyone decides to get these devices to resell, this does not count as ofgicial sales.
New products are listed on samsung russia website, just not for sale yet.

Anonymous, 31 Jul 2023This is obviously about official sales. I don't think Samsung is authorizing this. My guess is that a Samsung distributor or authorized retailer somewhere in ME (my money would be on the UAE) has already gotten their first shipment before the launch date. They can't sell them officially without Samsung raining hellfire down on them, but they can secretly sell the phones to sanctioned Russia. As long as Samsung doesn't find out who shipped the phones, there won't be any repercussions. And the Russian retailers clearly don't care about things like sanctions or embargo dates, so they can turn around and resell the phones immediately.

skoda9635, 31 Jul 2023It just might be that Samsung is not sending that stuff the... more"The Fold5 is offered by local carrier mts for RUB 189,990, which is equal to $2,062, while the Flip5 starts from RUB110,000, which translates to almost $1,200, according to the current exchange rate. Both phones are bundled with premium wearables and offered old with next-day delivery or same-day store pickup"
This only makes sense if it is a hoax by MTS.
The pertinent part of this is being offered, offering is not actually selling.
This is what scammers do offer you something
I am not even going to search the internet.
If Samsung sold in Russia it would be accused of putting profit above people and a PR disaster, and with cancel culture so dominant any sale to Russia would undermine the rest of the World, and not just confined to the flip or fold
