    Isn’t Nothing practically a Chinese brand with just the marketing department working in the UK?

    The Volla Quintus appears to be almost identical, to the Daria Bond that is sold in the UAE. Specs look identical from what I could see and the only difference I can make out are very minor design changes in the back side shell. Volla’s marketing and statements are pretty misleading about that. I am not saying they should not work with Chinese OEMs but they create the impression there was meaningful customisation going on from their side, maybe there was but it looks very much off the shelf from an OEM model.

    At the same time Volla also sells Plinius. It is actually a stronger phone, for a lower price than the Quintus but looks very much like the strongest Gigaset phone (which is lower mid-range), so should be actually manufactured in Germany (as much as any phone in Europe could possibly be I think). It is bewildering that they don’t put the Gigaset model square and centre.

      The FP6 is only marginally larger (6.3") and actually “feels” fairly compact, if that makes sense. Recently switched to one from a FP3 (5.6") without any issues and without having to adjust anything about how I use it.

      I highly recommend the e/os for the fairphones. Security wise it’s really great! And with the installer not that hard to install (imo)

      Sure, buy american hardware to flash an operating system based on an american operating system made by an american mega-corp. (yes, graphene OS only works on google pixels afaik) You understood the assignment perfectly on this european community, congrats.
