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.
EU/UK people, where do you get bootloader unlockable, flagship Snapdragon phones and what are they? New or refurbished.

Surely Xiaomi phones fall into this category?

I was going to say this, but apparently the 13 Ultra isn’t available in the UK. However the other 13’s do have the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
Xiaomi (or Poco or other derivative brands) are pretty good bang for your buck when it comes to hardware. It’s just a shame they come with all the Chinese buggery. I definitely wouldn’t recommend them with stock MIUI, but when you hack the shit out of them they’re not bad.
