Hijack my own thread for curiosity. Can Americans get Xiaomi or similar Chinese brands? I've always been curious to try one because I feel like I could hack my way around stuff but life/family keeping busy stuff...

No American but you can just order them from China directly they sell EU and US versions on AliExpress.

I can only recommend Xiaomi, cheap, very good build quality and you don't need to hack or root anything and still have full control over your phone. I've had a cheap Oppo before and it drowned, fell and more and still goes strong 8+ years later.
