The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

Not only is HMD Global not Chinese, they're actually the same Finnish company that people think of as "Nokia". Nokia do a lot more than just phones and they sold their mobile phone arm to Microsoft, who then spun it off as it's own company called HMD who licensed the Nokia name.

If you want to buy from a European brand, HMD/Nokia are worth considering.

Well, shit..you're right. I messed up. I was pretty sure HMD is Chinese. Sorry for the drama, I felt very frustrated with Nokia since the downfall of Lumia. I'll consider it, but looking forward to get the shiftphone 8 when released atm.
