Hey y'all, my OnePlus 8 pro is donezo, ling story short it got major damage that I just didn't even see happen but it was on its way out regardless. Now the reason I got a OnePlus is because when I first got them, they were the pinnacle of "moddable phones" any root or rom you could think of it was basically built to be rooted. Now though from what I hear the company has decided to go in a different direction, real shame. So now that I'm back in the market for a new phone ow as wondering if y'all had any suggestions. What's the most open source droid out there nowadays?

The Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro, its bootloader can be unlocked and it's fairly powerful. I am sure a good rooting and modding community will come out of it.

However, the unlocking process can take a couple weeks which is not great, also MIUI by default sucks.

The Pixel line is always pretty good for custom roms and stuff

I think MIUI is pretty decent, what dont you like about it?

It's history, if nothing else, makes it incredibly unattractive.
