Except Nokia isn't European anymore since Microsoft ruined them and sold the brand to the Chinese company HMD Global. You're welcome.
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.
I thought hmd was based in Finland?
You are wrong. HMD is a Finnish company, not Chinese. Apparently it is largely made up of former Nokia employees.
If you're going to be a smart-arse and say things like "you're welcome", maybe you should check the facts first.
they started manufacturing a specific model in the EU, though much more expensive.
