the battery itself is $25
Kinda steep considering a 3rd party store in Singapore charges a similar amount including labour for a battery replacement for a old redmi note 7.

Here in Singapore MMS was discontinued several years ago as people had left for other messaging platforms like WhatsApp long ago.
This is for the S series lineup. Samsung still have their A series and M,F,C series in other markets.
I see the lack of pre-installed google apps as a bonus.
Probably targeted for construction or similar working environment where gloves are commonly used.
Not an issue with global ROMs according to XDA

I wonder how much better gcam will do compared to the stock cam.
No just 4 OS and 5 years for security updates.
Perhaps you should consider getting a fairphone if its available in your market. Having a user replaceable battery is much better than going back to the OEM.
Maybe your battery issues is due to li-ion chemistry used in Samsung/LG instead of li-polymer more commonly found in Chinese OEM.

Replacing your battery every once a year seems extremely excessive. I replaced my old redmi note 7 battery only after 5 years for about $30 at a 3rd party retailer.
I think current xiaomi gives at least 3 years of OS updates on their budget redmi lineup and more on their higher priced series.
The a35 has a smaller main sensor, and worst ultrawide then the a54. Unfortunately exynos is a real breaker for me. I guess I hang on to my poco x3 for longer.
I could get a xiaomi 13T for that price.
Librewolf on PC.
Mull on Android
I would think the dual native ISO is the headline feature.
I always use gcam on any android phone as I much prefer the photos I get from it.
Go to the apps that have ads and in it’s settings turn off receive recommendations to disable them.
Other bloatware can be disabled via ADB
As for installing custom rom. You are required to wait for some time for xiaomi to approve your request before your bootloader can be unlocked.
Why don’t you just disable the ads and bloatware then?
From my experience, Google mobile services all work fine with Xiaomi phones.
Bloatware you can disable with ADB.
I am still using my OG Chromecast from 2014.
