I was planning on getting an Xperia 1 VI.

Gonna flash LineageOS on it.

I have the 1 VI, it's great. No lineage available yet, might take a while

Yes you can unlock the bootloader (not supported on the Japanese model and there is no US model this time), I'm not sure how well the camera system works on a gsi. On previous models they had to use proprietary blobs to get it to work properly

1 II had somebody repack the official camera app on lineage, I'm curious maybe the newers 1 lineups ones got repacked too
