Comment on What would your recommended budget ($200-400) phones be?
olafurp@lemmy.world 11 months agoIt’s unfortunate yeah. A lot of data goes to Xiaomi instead of Samsung, Google and Apple. Rooting is more of a hassle than on other phones but definitely possible.
That’s still a trade off I’m willing to make to get a mid-range phone for half price of a comparable Samsung.

I’ve found the article I mentioned earlier. It’s the bootloader that currently needs a Xiaomi account to unlock.

I’m sure that I’ve read that they are going to restrict rooting and bootloader unlocking though, probably on here somewhere. I just can’t find the post.
