There is also Gigaset who claim that their smartphones are "Made in Germany" but I am not entirely sure to what exactly this covers.
Based on the specs, seems it's only assembled in Germany with exception of a few parts like the battery.
It also seems to use standard Android with Google Play though.
If it does, then Fairphone would be a better option, or a phone offering from Murena perhaps too since that comes with /e/os
Gigaset is manufacturing in Germany afaik, but it is a Chinese-owned company. The phone runs on Android or Ubuntu Touch.
You may consider to buy a Gigaset pre-installed with UT or VollaOS (an Android-compatible OS by Volla Phone) at https://volla.online/ (Volla uses Gigaset phones).
Ah, I was confused by that. I thought Volla used their own manufacturer.
I thought VollaOS was just a custom rom? I noticed they use Ubuntu Touch and was surprised it was still alive. I thought Postmarket OS was the successor to it
