I don’t remember what they wrote back during the 4 days but I never had the feeling they were pretending it was made only in manufacturing. Today they write all(?) their nickle is from recycled sources. You could probably write an enitre philosophy book if that really matters but I leave that up to someone else. For me less sweatshop than the other phonea is enough.

Do you have a source for the SoC I didn’t find anything but I am also not that SoC savy. Depending on how bad the security risk is. As someone whose Bluetooth and wifi chip died after 2.5 years in my previous phone. 5 years of warranty is worth a lot to me.

I guess the last part is your experience with the phone. I am almost 2 years in and very happy. It does everything I want it to do and a bit more. No it’s not a flagship but I don’t need or want that.
