I am looking to buy a phone that has very good performance and great camera. I have found the Xiaomi 12t pro for less than 300€, do you think it’s a good purchase? Any phones you would recommend on that prixe range that are better?

I am mainly looking for hardware here, as if I don’t like software I can just change it, but having a good os with good features is never bad.

    I had a 9t pro. Great hw, but the sw was so bad l moved to a pixel 7 pro with graphene. To give you an idea, when installing tailscale it won’t work (my gut feeling is that it didn’t honor the added route table). I did install lineage (and the unlock process was a pain too) but then banking apps won’t work (and they do work on graphene). Also I didn’t appreaciate the constant “phoning home” for telemetry.

    Tl, dr: software was so bad it put me off hardware
