Any phones NOT made in China?

I’m a long-time TMobile customer, but I no longer want to buy phones made in China, Just too many human rights violations. Does TM sell ANYthing NOT made in China?

    Not sure how you define “Made in China” but every smartphone has semiconductors that are made in China even if the phone is assembled elsewhere.

    The backend was sold to an Indian company.  Those servers have been gone from Waterloo, Canada for a very long time now.  Who makes the devices...  I know Kyocera did at one point but I have no idea who does now.

    I don't think so.  Even the Korean companies made their devices in China.  Slave labor is just too cheap to not exploit.
