A Chinese low cost manufacturer from Shenzhen. Their parent company is actually one of the Top 5 manufacturers - but none in the North/West has heard of them.
They were specifically founded to provide smartphones for low and medium income markets like Africa, India, etc. Meanwhile they also manufacture phones there.
Their parent company holds almost 50% of the African market share.
They are actually producing decent phones by now - had the chance to take a look of one of their most recent phones a few weeks back. 5G, dual SIM, dedicated microSD slot, headphones jack (yes Lemmy!) and a big battery - but the camera and display were mediocre. Overall still a decent phone for a good price, even though they don’t sell them everywhere and I would be weary of the updates issue.
Actually because Elon. Really.
The act requires a certain market position from a company. Which Twitter once definitely had - but does no longer have. A lot of companies have turned their back on Twitter due to Musk (not only advertising wise but especially communication wise). And that does reduce the impact it possibly can have on the market. (Remember: The DSA is a market equalisation act)
