(People's Republic of) Samsung is supposed to announce one of those soon. Though who knows if it'll even be available outside of Asia.

I will eventually get it, my current phone still has a lot of time in it but even the fairphone is running android and you need google services if you want to use your banking apps...

Huawei is employee owned. Further, it exists in a socialist economy and is subject to state control, it isn't Huawei that has power over the economy, but the state that has power over Huawei.
