It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

If it has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a removable battery and costs no more than £300, I'm interested! <3

I'd rather it were made in Europe too, but I understand we can't have everything, supply chains being what they are.

P.S Bonus points if it has an IR blaster, I use the one on my current phone quite a lot, surprisingly enough!

They can't build them that cheaply. They don't have the same scaling effects as the big brands, and they make an effort for sustainability which is a huge problem with cheap-ass phones.
