Fairphone is also made in China, and Daniel Micay was also trying to do the same rebranding as Rob Braxman. All the YouTubers that claim to sell “privacy” phones either do this or flash custom ROMs on bought devices.
True with the first part, I dropped “in China” because that’s not a helpful qualifier. I was thinking of how the FreedomPhone was using Umidigi hardware, but that never made it into my post.
Besides, Pine itself (which is pretty good) is based in Hong Kong and manufactures phones in China.
I had no idea about Fair… That’s pretty funny. They say they pay their workers extra, but not directly where the workers are. I read about their “European design” first
Most phone companies that lack a brand name are white label, pumped out end masse in China so somebody like Rob Braxman can stick a logo on it.
Would not recommend.
Even the reputable companies that use cheap off-the-shelf parts will announce themselves. See: Pine.
