I’m considering getting a Xiaomi 14 Ultra and I can get it pretty cheap with Chinese rom. I heard it’s not that hard to flash it and put in a Swedish/global rom. anyone with real experience? or do I keep the china rom and live with it?

    With Xiaomi, you’re looking at a two week or more wait to unlock the bootloader. I wouldn’t recommend it.

      Plus, part of unlocking is setting up a Mi account, accepting third party cookies, and syncing your data to their servers. Xiaomi are a shitshow
