European apps for hobbies, version 2

(Preface this that there is nothing inherently wrong with Chinese phones and most phones in general have Chinese manufacturing for costs, while the defining features of non-"Chinese phones" is the hardware design and software. For the purposes of the post about switching to EU designed products)

Nothing seems like a UK brand on a chinese engineered product.

Literally by the exact same person who started the subsidy of OPPO (subsidy of big daddy BBK) and tried to convince people it was "a little underdog startup" before they came out with the truth. Not a history of transparency.

Nothing phones are manufactured by BYD who says it is a "co-development" which is what companies call it when the manufacturer does the hardware design with specs and input from the branded company.

The ROM teardown revealed that it might have been built on Chinese ROMs and contained stuff specific to the Chinese market that nothing isn't in.

They have pretty much management, sales, and marketing based in londen while in Shenzhen they have a bunch of positions for design, algorithms, firmware, and software.

It definitely is possible that they switch to UK hardware design, software, etc.. In the future, but right now it is not really. At least in the ways that matter to "switching to European products". Since profits are pretty much the only thing that is European about the nothing brand at the moment.

The watch, is definitely, 100% engineered and programmed in China also. Smart watches are much more specialized than smartphone and there are a half dozen manufacturers that do ODM designs for watches that have the supply chains already in place for it and they look exactly like the nothing watches.
