    Unlocking bootloader took me few hours.
    I must register new account, install Windows application (Linux not supported, but Windows Server evaluation is free and works as a VM),
    have valid SIM card with Internet access.

    But worth it, much better experience.

    Unfortunately, average person won’t do all this things.

      That sounds like Xiaomi. The best price to performance ratio of any OEM, but at the cost of terrible software and this… experience… when you want to get rid of it.

      Worth noting that not all OEMs are like this.
