And you can't unlock their boot loaders. You must suffer their changes to Android, their assistant, their UI, their spyware, and bloatware. You don't own the device.

I'm writing this from a samsung with unlocked bootloader.

Same here. Pretty easy to unlock it.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Well, congratulations, hacker.

Maybe I should've specified that it was unlocked via the official "OEM Unlock" switch provided by Samsung. Yes, there are Samsung phones that can be unlocked, though you're right, many cannot be (usually US versions).

Lol where did you get that from? You can absolutely unlock the bootloader of every Samsung Android phone.

Edit: detail

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 7 points 6 months ago

IIRC Samsung doesn't allow OEM unlock on snapdragon devices sold in US.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Not in the US

Neither on Apple devices though? There aren't many exploits to "jailbreak" Android phones.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Oh man, don't get me started on that.

You can root/jailbreak both apple and samsung, but that would massively downgrade the phone security and make it vulurnable to hackers. So that must be avoided if you have bank apps, creditcards, or important and sensitive data on phone (who doesn't)

You can't unlock the bootloader on specifically USA Samsung devices, for reference.
