Fairphone is such an obvious partner here I guess that's why they went with a Chinese manufacturer instead.

I am sure nothing bad will come from that decision.1, 2, 3

Seriously, though. Why?

And who do you want them to partner with exactly?

The only "good" one is Fair Phone and Graphene has already spoken about their lax approach to security.

I’ll admit I’m not that informed in the field, but did Samsung have any controversies that caused everyone to consider it worse than Chinese-owned companies? The only negative I’m aware of is that their stuff is really overpriced.
