I loathe Samsung. Their bootloader unlocking is bullshit. Never getting another dollar from me ever again.

Yup. Samsung sold smartwatches that promised an upcoming ECG feature to have it only available when connected to a Samsung phone when it came out, but not other Android phones. They also try and force you to put their TVs on your network so they can track everything you do. Never again.

You're not missing out on much. I stopped using the ecg feature on the Samsung watches when it gave me an AFib warning and I went to a doctor about it. They hooked me up to an EKG and said I was fine and looked at the chart my watch generated and said the chart there also looked fine. I put on both my apple watch and galaxy watch and was measuring both at the same time and the apple watch gave out either high heart rate (I just got back from a walk) or inconclusive meanwhile the galaxy watch fired off another false AFib warning.

? I unlocked bootloader easily, just enabled it in settings on my note 20 ultra

You've just tripped Knox and permanently lost multiple features

I'm still rocking my 15+ year old Syncmaster 245BW as my rack monitor and that's the last Samsung item I purchased.
