There is a standalone app, Microsoft Lens. Surprisingly good app.

Google is late to the party. Even Microsoft had such an app years ago.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro. Ticks most your boxes.

It has great custom rom support. It does not have SD card tho.

Which country was it?

Zen browser. It is basically Arc on the Firefox engine. Still in alpha though I've been daily driving it.

I have had several Redmi phones. Yes, the current unlock process is a convoluted - You need a Xiaomi account. Then you need to toggle "unlock" in Developer settings. Then go to fastboot. Then while connected to your PC, you need the Xiaomi Unlock app to unlock the phone which you need to wait 2 weeks to happen. After 2 weeks, you go back to fastboot and the Xiaomi app, click Unlock and it is done.

(phew!)

It is tedious but not horrible. Once this is done, your bootloader is unlocked. You can then install your own custom recovery, custom rom, etc.

Redmi phones that have Qualcomm processors. Check out XDA forum for which models are supported.

There is no custom rom for this and there won't be. It uses a MediaTek SOC. The bootloaders cannot be unlocked.

I've discovered the wonders of a coconut husk mattress. It is hard with some give.

Fantastic for my back. Can't sleep on soft beds anymore.

Also I use a rolled up towel under my neck for support.

Settings -> Sound and Vibration

You should see Phone ringtone - SIM 1 and Phone ringtone - SIM 2.

You must have the SIMs in your phone to see this.
