Android/AOSP capable but there doesn't seem to be many unlocked ones.

I've been looking into them lately and it seems like there are a ton of hoops you need to jump through in order to get apps up and running. Then the ones that are relatively simple to install apps are either extremely old, or aren't supported in the US due to incompatible frequency bands. Like Japan has these phones called "Ketais" which are really cool and run full android despite looking like a flip phone, but Japan is pretty adamant about keeping their phones network-locked (unless you wanna spend $400+ which won't work on T-Mobile or anything like that because now T-Mobile requires VoLTE to work on their network smh)
KaiOS is okay in and of itself, but it's a lot like windows phone where the platform works but the lack of apps/interest kills it.
