minus-square@ransomwarelettuce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 month agoMotorolas are cool for custom roms and Xiaomi are pretty open for a chinese brand. However don’t go to non snapdragon chips and the latter brand you have to create a Xiaomi account and wait 15 days to unlock the bootloader. I had to get a new phone recently and since I was on a budget, went with a Motorola. If got enough money though go for a pixel.
minus-square@Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink3•1 month ago Xiaomi are pretty open for a chinese brand. Be warned, they just restricted their bootloader unlocking even more. Now you can only unlock 1 device a year. The waiting period annoyed me so much at the time, for my Redmi Note 8 Pro I had to wait 168h, 1 week. I’m not doing that anymore.

Any other great phones for custom OSs?
