I wouldn't be surprised if there were some backdoor in the Qualcomm chip the fairphone 5 uses or the radios in other phones. Without open hardware you really can't trust anything. Not when we know we're all being constantly spied on by the state and by the corporations who design/manufacture our hardware.
True, the limited number of chip manufactures makes me think they'd be very easy targets for states looking to spy. If they're reasonably auditable though you'd hope they'd be found out.
