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.
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).
I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that Samsung is shipping two wildly different software packages to americans and europeans because none of what you stated is a problem on my end (aside maybe spyware)
Yes, and up to not long ago, also completely different hardware (exynos vs snapdragon). US samsung devices usually cannot be bootloader unlocked. Rest of the world usually can. No idea why.
Maybe like apple, it promised to give your data to the US government and you can probably bypass that if you unlock your bootloader. It is one thing to bend to goverment pressure but it is a whole another level of fucked up shit to take away any means of escaping from it looks at apple and samsung
Lol where did you get that from? You can absolutely unlock the bootloader of every Samsung Android phone.
Edit: detail
IIRC Samsung doesn't allow OEM unlock on snapdragon devices sold in US.
Not in the US
Oh man, don't get me started on that.
Neither on Apple devices though? There aren't many exploits to "jailbreak" Android phones.
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.
