      Motorolas 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.

        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.
