I just got a xaiomi 13 ultra and want this on it. The Chinese phones are awesome folks and the camara with laica is amazing.

    GrapheneOS devs from what I've seen is still pretty lib in a way that would effect chances of a Chinese phone getting it.

    That may or may not be true (I don't know his opinions), but he has some basic hardware requirements that almost no phones meet - including being able to re-lock the bootloader with custom keys, which AFAIK excludes all Xiaomi phones.

    Their choice is purely technical

    Xiaomi also has horrible anti consumer practices in regards to bootloader unlocking:
