I wonder where they've set the bar in terms of security. Are the phones 99% manufactured in China, but ship two pieces, screw them together and call it 'Made in EU'. Are the phones shipped in some tamper evident bags or have anti-interdiction like Librem 5[0]? Have they build any advanced security features for the phone, or is it mainly for ticking a box in some compliance 'yes yes, a local made phone'.

- Maakuth 3y agoThe current HMD models are being manufactured by Foxconn in China and there's also a wide range of Foxconn middleware running on the phones. Foxconn also has a factory in Hungary, so probably the manufacturing partner is the same for these European made models too. I don't know if there's any difference in the security posture.
- stuaxo 3y agoThe Nokia phones were "Android One" at least when the one I'm typing this was made so should be straightforward Android. The main change I do is to use Niagara launcher and Firefox browser.
- adev_ 3y agoFoxconn is Taiwanese. I would take Taiwanese hardware made on European ground over stuff made in the PRC anytime.
- nwah1 3y agoTrue, but Foxconn has factories in the PRC
