I’m thinking Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Other processors are welcome if the phones are unlockable and are ideally somewhat likely to have rom development in the future.

        The camera on my Mi 10t Lite 5g is crap.

        It’s ok in good light during the day, but as soon as I use the zoom, it falls apart. It puts random artifacts into the image and looks awful. If you take a non zoomed photo in good light and zoom in, it’s really pixellated.

        I use mine for banking, so I haven’t been able to try another ROM to see if it’s a software issue, so you might be able to get around it.

            That’s a shame about the cameras. I forgot to mention that I found Open Camera from F-Droid to be quite good, but I haven’t had any luck getting around the limitations, it’s just a better camera app.

            I’m ashamed to say that I fell for the marketing with regards to the camera. Ads saying that it’s x amount of megapixels, but failing to mention that it’s a tiny sensor and a lot of dodgy upscaling…

            On the bright side, universal-android-debloater has helped me to get rid of some of the bloat that came with the phone, like the browser that keeps taking over document reading duties. It’s here if you or anyone else are interested

                I’d love to be able to root my phone and put a new ROM on it, but I’m so dependent on things like banking apps and NFC payments, that I couldn’t risk it not working for now.

                I’m trying to break the dependency, but it’s going slowly so far. It’s just so convenient having something in my pocket that replaces so many other little things.

        Only mad people use stock miui.

        It’s filled with ads, bloatware, idk what backdoor also available. I don’t even put my email on miui just to be on safer side.

        Xiaomi phones are sold mostly because they are cheap so good for experimenting around gets picked up by devs. You can check premium xiaomi phones they lack custom rom development cause their audience is small and why do something on a platform where nobody is bother to even buy it.
