Xioami Mi Mix 3 - No Smart Unlock

Purchased the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3.

Appears Google Smart Lock does not seem to work with this device. Only Xiaomi devices can be added as trusted devices.

Furthermore, despite all settings being toggled to allow it, I can't seem to get google maps directions to show on the lock screen.

The worst part is when I messaged Xiaomi support about this, they told me to contact the store I purchased it from.

(I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
