xiaomi is high quality (good for gaming, cheap for what it has)
redmi is consumer friendly version of xiaomi
if you are good at cn shopping & digging, you can get a Xiaomi 15 at $500 - which is insane, because it usually runs for more than an iPhone... 17 (?).
cn phones have some bloatware on them, but idk you're not the FBI.
never touch apple,......
