As far as im aware (and please correct me if im wrong) that is true but the company is European based in the Netherlands, and given their dedication to paying and treating workers fairly I still think its a viable option for a non-US brand phone that is still competitive.

The company Fairphone is indeed based in Europe. My previous comment was to correct the statement (since removed) that Fairphones are “European-made”, which they are not.

But we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good; buying a Fairphone with /e/ os is definitely a huge step in the right direction. Congratulations, and I hope it all goes well for you.

(I’d wouldn’t mind getting one myself eventually, but I’ve read contradictory comments about reliability with the cellular bands used where I live, especially as I use an MVNO that switches between different cell service providers with varying tech.)
