Phone brands and their countries

A phone brand’s country is where the company is headquartered; the country where the phone is made is often different. Below we list the home countries of brands common in Turkey and which brands belong to which group.

Key points
  • A brand’s country is where it is headquartered; phones are often made elsewhere.
  • Apple and Google are from the USA, Samsung from South Korea, Sony from Japan.
  • Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, OPPO, vivo, Realme and OnePlus are based in China.
  • Redmi and POCO are Xiaomi sub-brands.
  • General Mobile, Casper, Reeder and Vestel are brands based in Turkey.

01Brand country vs where it is made

When people talk about a phone’s “country”, they usually mean where the brand is headquartered. Parts come from many countries, and assembly often happens outside the brand’s home country. So the place of manufacture on the box can differ from the brand’s country.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
