How it does very well and it even gets up to 10K+.
I just realized that I can't pre-order even if I wanted to since I am not in EU/UK/Norway/Switzerland.
We really need an Android alternative with no involvement from American or Chinese companies.
This won't occur without state intervention. The market has already decided to move design and production of phones and phone components to China (and Vietnam to some extent). In order for a European phone to be made, in Europe, the necessary supply chains need to be buit. But there's no market for them as their output would be more expensive and the market already figured the maximum profit is in the China-Vietnam manufacturing mix. So the state would have to create these supply chains. Minerals, displays, diodes, MOSFETs, ICs, caps, PCBs and small cells. Once that's in place, creating a European phone manufacturer becomes possible. That's a decade long process that simpy won't occur without deliberate and persistent state support. I think it should be done, however you may find a lot of opposition by free market fundamentalists, or interest groups that represent capital in other industries receiving state support.
Software is the easier part to build up first in Europe. AOSP will no longer be patched soon.
