What do you guys expect for this device's development?

I will only buy this phone if kernel is released, open bootloader and we can change roms

Don't like miui

That's what is supposed to, but I guess eventually the community will find some way to unlock and develop...

The problem is I will have to wait for checking it

3 e-mail accounts push-synchronizing about 200 e-mail messages per day. Less than a quarter of phone conversations.
2 hours of Tidal music sreaming/listening. Few minutes of youtube. A lot of web-browsking using chrome. Fiew apps installed. 20-30 pictures and a short movie recorded.

Just to clarify while the device may come with locked bootloader you can unlock and install other ROMs.

The process may be a little convoluted requesting permissions and being forced to sign up to the miui forum etc. But it is doable. Don't think you can get a better device currently for the money so there's always a trade off
