Wasted money on junk xiaomi phone (lemmy.ca)

Today I bought Xiaomi 12 pro for 100$ (a lot of money for me) it's considered a "flagship phone" by xiaomi back in the day, but after I got it home tried to unlock bootloader but it made impossible by xiaomi (I did checked on LineageOS site and see that the phone is supported with my model number that's why I bought it), you have no idea how much I wanna throw it to the brick wall but I need a phone for work I spare it for now but when I got my old Pixel 3 fixed I might have a little "fun" with it.

I honestly don't know what phone to buy anymore Samsung, Sony, Poco, Xiaomi even some newer 1+ phone are starting locked their bootloader, fuck these companies

Semi-reluctant recommendation for Motorola - the unlock process is only a bit annoying, and many models have decent Lineage compatibility.

Try uniherz. Black Friday sale. I have the jelly star. Best phone I ever had. But they make lots of good ones for cheap.

Are they supported by lineage?
