Russia is one of the most populous countries in the world, with almost 144 million inhabitants as of 2014. The number of mobile phone users in Russia has been growing constantly in the past years, reaching 114 million users in 2014.

The most common smartphone activities among Russian users are reading e-books, listening to music and playing games. Another popular activity is watching online videos.
As of 2015, the leader of the Russian smartphone operating system market is Google’s Android, with a 66.6 percent market share, followed by Apple's iOS and, to a lesser extent, Windows Phone. Symbian was a dominant player on the smartphone OS market in 2011 and 2012, but has not played an important role since then.
