The mobile market does not stop growing and expanding to offer us alternatives of all kinds and although many tend to think that all mobile phones come from the same place, the truth is that there are important changes in the places of origin of each mobile brand . With the intention of letting you know if your mobile comes from Asia, the European continent or America, we are going to let you know the place where they are manufactured.
We must bear in mind that although a mobile brand comes from a specific country, there may even be some sensors inside, a processor or other types of hardware parts that come from another country, in addition to having been manufactured in another remote place of the headquarters. This allows global growth to be benefited and finally users can have the best technology from every part of the world on our smartphone.
What mobiles are made in Europe
We begin the review of brands in our continent, which we already told you about is not a place known especially for the manufacture of smartphones , although it has its representatives. Unfortunately for Spain we do not have any brand recognized worldwide, the manufacturer BQ that grew so much in our country ceased to exist as such and was transferred to Vietnam to change its name and shape.
Fairphone
The only prominent mobile brand that we can find in Europe has the Dutch seal. In the Netherlands, this curious mobile brand is born that tries to design and manufacture its smartphones with the same possible impact on the environment.
Nokia
The well-known Nokia would be the most popular brand within the European continent, but nevertheless it really recently stopped manufacturing its terminals in Finland . In 2016 it was handed over to Foxconn, based in Taiwan and which is currently in charge of manufacturing the devices there.
Alcatel
Alcatel’s story also has its beginnings in Europe, keeping its headquarters in France and later moving manufacturing with TCL to Shenzhen, China.
Mobiles made in Asia
The Asian continent is the place on the planet where most mobile phones are manufactured. They have become the best representative of technology and they do not stop demonstrating the potential they have. Good results and low prices are a trademark of the house, making them reach any corner of the world with the manufacture of mobile phones. Where the promotion is most specific is in the Chinese country, which has managed to make the Made in China brand a benchmark.
Samsung
The leading manufacturer of smartphones Samsung is based in South Korea, specifically in the city of Seoul. However, the manufacture of Samsung mobiles is decided by the point between Vietnam, India, Brazil, South Korea and Indonesia.
Xiaomi
The great Chinese brand does not need presentations, locating its headquarters in Beijing, a city in the Chinese country. It focuses its production in China, although it also collaborates with brands around the world to shape the products of its ecosystem and smartphones. India is one of the places where you assemble devices and bring your smartphones to life.
Huawei
Another company that manufactures its mobiles in China and more specifically in Shenzhen. The big brand is based in the same city, although like others it expands production throughout the Asian continent with certain components and notably in India. Previously it had a greater deal with the United States although due to restrictions this has been limited and now its own country is the one that offers the most resources for production.
OPPO
In this case, OPPO has its headquarters in Dongguan, a city in China where it gives life to the mobiles we use today. This is where a large part of its global production is centered, without losing sight of the collaboration with manufacturers from all over the world.
Real me
The OPPO sub-brand shares a headquarters with OPPO and a manufacturing location. Dongguan in the province of Canton is the place where the firm began and has managed to reach our country.
TCL
Huizhou is the city where TCL has its headquarters and manufacturing center, although it has been widely associated with Canada for having developed the well-known BlackBerry for years.

The second largest manufacturer in South Korea is LG, with its headquarters located in Seoul, it carries its mobile phones around the world. A manufacturer that has divisions throughout much of the planet, but increasingly focuses its production in the Asian country.
Sony
In this case, Tokyo is the place where Sony brings its mobiles to life and has its headquarters. The manufacturer builds its components and mobiles throughout Asia and also maintains some divisions in India.
America’s mobiles
We come to the American continent, where Apple stands out for its presence above the rest. However contrary to what many think. The presence in America is not very high when it comes to creating mobile phones, which could even make it possible to change many continent brands if it were not for the headquarters.
Manzana
The iPhones that we can find in the market are manufactured under Foxconn, which centers its production in Zhengzhou (China). Despite this, Apple maintains collaborations around the world and tries to give special relevance to the United States in terms of development.
Motorola
The Motorola brand locates its headquarters in Schaumburg, United States where until a few years ago it has assembled legendary mobiles, but nevertheless the place where it develops its phones is largely in India.
Based in Mountain View, California, although with its production centered in China until relatively recently. Now the development of the Google Pixel has moved to Vietnam, where we have already seen the last Google Pixel 5 leave there.
