The phone is fully designed, engineered, tested, built, and firmware written in China… Pei just has his marketing office in the UK so he can claim it as a UK company. Maybe they give some aesthetic design direction in the UK too. Pei has a history of lying to make his companies seem like something they aren’t.
(Though they did have a couple of software job postings up recently, so maybe they are trying to slowly change that and do some of the software in the UK)
I’m typing this from a Nothing Phone 2 I got about a year and a half go and I love it. Still gets monthly updates, stills runs fast and is updated to A15. Battery is starting to slip but as long as I’m around 40-50% charge before a trio or going out that’s more than enough. Really like the nothingOS customizability, reminds me of the OG oneplus phones but not what they are currently.
Nothing is pretty much a Chinese OEM…

How is the quality of their phone? Does this person lie about the products themselves or just company?

Aww damn. Well let’s hope it’s Sony then (or someone else reputable)
I’ve bought Sony devices for years, but nowadays the cheap ones are shit and the good ones are way too expensive
I still do not trust Sony after the CD rootkit incident.
Maybe HMD?
HMD is a Chinese OEM. 90% of their phones are just off-the-line Foxconn reference designs with almost stock android.
It is the illusion of choice that happens when companies and IP are massively consolidated into monopolies.
Chinese? They’re headquartered in Finland and even make one model in Hungary
