I have been using Xiaomi Redmi Notes since version 7, currently I have version 13. Hardware is solid, fast, dependable and flexible. It comes with some bloatware but the new HyperOS is actually very open to turning off all possible privacy / tracking apps.
I rooted some of my previous phones but haven’t the new one. For the price point, imo is the best option.
Make sure to check the supported bands of the device against your carrier 5G/4G bands or the phone has a hard time connecting.
If you are planning on rooting, set a Xiaomi account right away as it takes time to get unlocking code.
Vivaldi. Edge for testing. FF dev edition is garbage. Glitchy, inconsistent, and blunt.
