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.

That’s very bleak, I hope there is more to that.
It’s pretty bad, however the headings appear be colored by the author’s moral indignation. Many models from brands in the “Avoid at all costs!” section are, in fact unlockable.

TLDR:
ℹ️ “Safe for now” :trollface:
- Nothing
- OnePlus
- Microsoft
- Umidigi
- Micromax
- Ulefone
- Blackview
- Cubot
- Oukitel
I’m guessing Pixel’s not an option because you don’t live in the supported countries?
Well, it could be an option, never checked but I guess my country is supported.
But I would prefer not google tbh
Somewhat Ironically, the Pixels are the only supported devices for GrapheneOS.
Afaik a couple non-pixels are compatable, as of a few months ago.
I’m happy with my OnePlus
I read that since they rebased with oppo future unlockability is at stakes.
