I am looking for my next smart phone.

It seems like I will choose between a Fairphone 6 or Nothing 3 (or any other phone) How do these phones compare?

    We need to have a pinned post about nothing on this community.

    Nothing is a Chinese company with American investors, using the UK marketing office as a tax haven, there is nothing European about it.

    All of the electronics are designed and produced in China, all of the firmware is designed and written in China, most or all of the software is written in China. All of the electronics & technical job postings from then since inception have been for their Chinese office. (Disclaimer, the past year they had 1-2 software engineering jobs posted at their london office, so maybe sometime in the future, they will start writing a bit of the software in europe)

    All of their smart watches and their whole CMF line is ODM’ed (white labeled) by fully Chinese companies, that is why they are all completely generic dime-a-dozen base designs.

    Their CEO has had a history of misleading and/or lying with his other Chinese company he started, and has worked in the Chinese smartphone industry for 15 years in China. Sure he grew up in Sweden, but that is literally the only EU-related affiliation the company has, and he didn’t put the headquarters marketing office in Sweden because he is dodging taxation.
