With all the latest bad news from Xiaomi, where to go to buy a new phone with an unlockable bootloader today?
I used to buy Samsung, then moved to xiaomi, now what?
Unlock the boatloader is a basic requirement for me as at the very minimum I want root and preferably lineageos down the road.
Yeah if you can manage to get one without their outrageous official price, these are really amazing devices for enthusiasts, took me less than 3 minutes to unlock bootloader and root (most of the time spent by the full system wipe from unlocking bootloader). And they are some of the last flagship spec’ed phones that still have SD card support, and headphone jack, and they come with very clean AOSP-like ROM with minimal customization and no bloat, and because of that most of the root-empowered system customization tools developed for Pixel phones mostly work out of the box on these phones too
