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.

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.
