As long as it isn't a Chinese OEM. Most likely going to be Sony or Nothing?
Nothing is pretty much a Chinese OEM...
The phone is fully designed, engineered, tested, built, and firmware written in China... Pei just has his marketing office in the UK so he can claim it as a UK company. Maybe they give some aesthetic design direction in the UK too. Pei has a history of lying to make his companies seem like something they aren't.
(Though they did have a couple of software job postings up recently, so maybe they are trying to slowly change that and do some of the software in the UK)
How is the quality of their phone? Does this person lie about the products themselves or just company?
I'm typing this from a Nothing Phone 2 I got about a year and a half go and I love it. Still gets monthly updates, stills runs fast and is updated to A15. Battery is starting to slip but as long as I'm around 40-50% charge before a trio or going out that's more than enough. Really like the nothingOS customizability, reminds me of the OG oneplus phones but not what they are currently.
