Short answer?

How this is made

I think this is a fantastic investment, that proves that you don't always need the latest model to get a premium experience. This phone shines as what I'd call a "productivity phone" and is perfect for users who prioritise function over flashy gaming performance or a phone that has many bells and whistles. Google promises up to seven years of security updates which is a major selling point that gi Leeon1988 · johnlewis.com

Excellent phone, exceeds expectations. A fluid and bright screen, a high-quality 200 MP camera, long-lasting battery, and ultra-fast charging in less than 25 minutes. Fast and stable performance, ideal for all types of use. The seller is very serious and reliable. The shipment arrived ahead of schedule, well packaged, and the product was completely new and sealed. Very satisfied with the purchase. aliexpress.com
