      What you get for the price is a European phone. No way it can compete on hardware/price with other phones.

        Are they manufactured in Europe, though, or just another chinese smartphone with an OS that’s not Android or iOS?

          The upcoming Jolla is manufactured in Finland afaik. Or maybe assembled is a better word? Smartphone components come from around the world and not just China.

            That’s a brilliant option, compared to some of the stuff like the nothing phone

      Part of the reason other phones are cheaper is because you’re the product. They’re collecting data and selling it. If you don’t want this you’re going to have to pay more.

        other phones are cheaper mostly due to economies of scale, though. like, idk, china makes a few million phones at once, while in europe they make, what, a few thousand phones at once?
