Later on they switched to other Chinese manufacturer.
I do not know who manufactures hardware now, but I think it is Chinese company (just like in case of iPhones, flagship Android phones, Segways, and other high-end hardware)
Well, what has any of this, which I am well aware of, got to do with the claim made by stumed you'd have to send your device to China because they don't offer service in Europe?
