No need for a PC or even hobby level know how, just follow the basic step within Shizuku and you're golden, OTA updates cannot install those apps again but factory reset will. But you can do all this again within 5-10 mins to get a clean experience.
I might be wring but K series runs a similar ROM to their premium mainline phones and does not include these bloatwares.
Not to mention that soending about 2-3 hours on XDA and other trusted forums will help you flash an even cleaner ROM of choice like lineage OS and Pixel Experience that get OTA updates on stable builds.

Their biggest issue has always been their Software(Miui/HyperOS).
Bugs, ads/recommendations everywhere, slow updates(especially new Android version)etc.
A friend of mine has last year Poco F5 Pro and its still with July Security patch.

how does it Redmi going to offer telephoto& snapdragon 8 elite while the OnePlus 13R is coming with snapdragon 8 gen 3/elite and the same old 50&8MP combo!
Redmi has become the best in the class.

I can't find any compromises as of now with this phone. Finally, a spiritual k20 pro successor.

Bruh, can't believe I'm the one defending a product here but come on people this thing puts 100% of the flagships and competing phones to shame with how much you get for the price. (You do get just about everything)
Be reasonable, display is great, ultrasonic fingerprint is way better, performance is covered and you know it, you got IP rating which is still not a norm, huge battery, fast wired and wireless charging, dedicated chips for battery and graphics and even the 16 GB 1TB variant is cheaper than pretty much all other brands at their base variants. I love me a headphone jack but short of a *CONFIRMED* USB 3.1 Gen 1/2 there is almost nothing to complain about.
This is just a clean, no gimmicks phone for a very justifiable price. If anything I'd say they could or maybe should have taken away the 2MP macro camera and retain this price if it helps them pay the staff better.
Deal of the year 2024-25 so far IMO.

If shoulder/trigger buttons could be added, this could be a cheap gaming phone.

Apple: introduced camera button, new design on base variant, also new version of display protection
Chinese companies: new battery with better capacity, better water resistance, better durability
Meanwhile Samsung: same old, everything same old. Just a new processor slapped on top of same phone every year

K series every year never disappointed me how ugly they are compared to other competitors, even when this design decided by the ex-managers of xiaomi's CIVI brand. Other than this and HyperOS, this seems like a good phone indeed.
