Yep, I just don’t really see the point in getting the latest and greatest most expensive model anymore, the yearly improvements just aren’t anything to write home about like they were a handful of years ago. Xiaomi’s Redmi line is honestly such a good bang for your buck, the Redmi 13 is like $145 new and is very good considering the price. Xiaomi also lets you unlock your bootloader fairly easily unlike Samsung if that’s something that matters to you, which it does to me.
Is there a concrete source on this? I tried some searching and I can see rumors of it from a few days ago saying it’s coming to the global market since they did it in China, but nothing set in stone yet as far as I can see? It’d be a shame if it does happen because Xioami has always seemed cool with it, they even provide guides on their website on how to install new operating systems.

Starting 2025 you are no longer able to unlock your bootloader on xaiomi devices.
