Are the drivers open or is it a dystopian GPL breaking nightmare like MediaTek trash? Is the bootloader unlocked or possible to unlock?
If answer to any of those is negative, FUCK XIAOMI AND THEIR CPU.
Y'all should stop buying slop hardware just because it was made in China.
I actually have a Xiaomi phone but I run LineageOS on it. If that option didn't exist, I wouldn't hsve bought Xiaomi. Simple as

i want to stay with xiaomi, but they will have to keep putting out ownership respecting stuff. rooting for them.
