Does it matter whether Rostest or Eurotest Iphone buy

First of all, let's define what is actually the difference between Rostest or Eurotest devices. Smartphones with the prefix "Ros" on the package are certified for sale in Russia devices, and smartphones with the prefix "Euro" were issued, respectively, for European countries. All devices imported to Russia legally must have a PCT certificate. Buying a smartphone designed for Europe, you actually buy a "gray" phone.

Than it threatens the user and what to get better - Rostest or the Eurotest device?

First of all, buying a device that is not certified for our country, you may find that the smartphone will be oriented to the European operator and its use in Russia will be impossible. Unlocking, of course, is possible, but it costs, as a rule, not cheap and carries some risks. Also on the phone Eurotest used in Russia is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Many sellers of "gray" devices claim that this is not so, leading an excerpt from the official website of Apple, which says that you can apply for warranty service to the nearest authorized service center. This is absolutely true. However, Apple only performs warranty obligations to the first buyer of the device, as stated in the relevant agreement, which you can also see on the official support resource.

If you have a "euro" version of a smartphone in your hands, then in fact you are not the first The owner - before you, someone bought this unit in the EU countries and illegally imported into the Russian Federation, where you bought it. This means that in an authorized service center you will not even be accepted for diagnostics and will be denied warranty service. Then someone will say that under the guarantee he will apply for repair of the device and is not going to, and the price tag for 4 thousand less is more attractive for him.

But here, too, have their pitfalls - the device may not only need repair. There is still such a thing as a factory fault or a malfunction that is not repairable. In the event that the manufacturer bears warranty obligations to you, the device is replaced by a similar worker or a refund. If you are the owner of an apparatus produced for Europe, then you will be deprived of such an opportunity. The miser pays twice, as the well-known proverb says. Of course, it's up to the buyer to make a decision, to buy a device Rostest or Eurotest. However, this decision must be weighed.

How to distinguish, Rostest or Eurotest device you acquire

First of all, pay attention to the packaging of the device. Careful study of it is the only way, without activating the device, to determine whether the iphone Rostest or Eurotest is in front of you.

On the box must be present inscriptions in Russian. Also on the label with the bar code there should be two letters "RR". If you can inspect the contents of the box, then pay attention to the availability of a warranty card from the official distributor of devices in Russia. It should be noted that only MTS and Megafon companies are engaged in the supply of certified devices to the territory of our country. These simple actions will prevent you from buying an uncertified smartphone and help to avoid unnecessary problems.
