Nothing phone is pretty much not european. It is a technically British company with a swedish/chinese citizen CEO with a history of lying about his company (he started OnePlus in china as a BBK subsidy and tried to lie for years and say they were just a tiny startup) that does almost all of their electronics, mechanical, and software design in China (not just the manufacturing like all other phone companies, but the design and software also, and they don’t even do the design, they contract it out to an ODM), with american investors.
The only thing European about it is their sales and marketing teams in London.
That may change in the future as they have some software dev job postings in London (most of their engineering postings are still in China) but we buy products for what they are now, not what they are not even promised to become sometime in the future.
I’m thinking about buying Fairphone.
My only concern with the Fairphone is the chipset. I’ve seen reports where the phone can be a bit sluggish, that’s not ideal
I’ve been using it for the last 6 months with the fairphone ROM and I have not complaint about sluggishness
Thanks
Oh, that could be a no no. Any suggestions for alternatives? Maybe Nothing phone?
