Hi
I am now looking for new phone to replace my 2yrs old half brain dead nexus 6p(Big cores failed, now running full time on little cores)

since the beginning of my android journey, i have been using custom rom such as cyanogen and now lineage os instead of the stock OS. due to that, I have very very limited exp regarding stock OS that came with the phone

Now I am eyeing on 1 phone that meets my needs and budget,
honor view10,
and I know kirin SoC has almost non-existence custom rom. But i am open to using emui as long as it is not bloated too much. Besides, how is huawei software support department since i could no longer "artificially" extend the phone life by going custom rom once huawei abandon the phone in let say, after 1 year

If going by your story , Oneplus 5/5T would suit you. Not much different in price from Honor 10 View. Get Snapdragon device. They have much more support from custom rom developer after the manufacturer abandoned your device. Other option would be old flagship(SD835) from top brands of last year. Most will drop in price after Snapdragon 845 device out. If you can wait.

By the way you didn't mention what your needs. Like screen size , battery or budget. Honor brand is also kinda strange. Although under Huawei they operate on their own. About support maybe just 1 major update after that no more. Huawei a little better but not Honor. See their past device to get a reference.

1. Brand : Anything

2. Budget : Below 2k (strictly)

3. Specs : At least 4gb ram, 5inch screen above and a good GPU + processor (top priority). Other features (OS, UI, camera etc.) could be average as long as it's worth the price. VoLTE is a bonus ,although I'm okay of not having it.

4. What do I need in the phone: Mostly gaming so as long as it could run at high settings smoothly, I'll consider it. I also want it snappy for heavy browsing too (YouTube, FB etc.)

Thank you.

Tq..

now a bit confuse which one better

MI A1
Huawei Nova 2i
Mi 5X
Huawei P9
*
MiA1 & 5X the same. MiA1 is international and run stock android while 5X for Chinese market running Miui.

P9 have mediocre GPU. Only after Kirin 970 Huawei have better GPU on their chipset.

Nova 2i also use mediocre chipset. But it does have bigger screen & battery. Also more camera. Much more pricey also.
