Try Xiaomi.

I did. I cannot recommend it. There is no real way to unlock bootloaders on these. They've locked it down so much that you can't really do anything but run what they give you.

Xiaomi phones have built-in ads, that's one of the reasons it gets to be cheaper.

  • The Chinese phone ecosystem is basically unavailable in the US. Huawei was banned, and none of the other brands sell products officially besides OnePlus, which has iPhone-adjacent pricing.
