Samsung Removes Bootloader Unlocking with One UI 8

I'm on v7 and it's also removed in that version. I blame it on Google's efforts to enforce apps having that new Play store integrity bullshit.

well it's suck... soon many smartphones manufacturer will copy what Samsung does

First age verification, mastercard and visa controlling what people purchase, and now this, there isn't any good news lately.

Where have you been the last 10 years? Very few devices have allowed bootloader unlocking, Samsung is no exception with their US market devices.

Man, this timeline sucks.
On the other hand... Year of the fairphone? Maybe year of the Linux phone?

App devs should also be blamed

Looks like I'm on v6 and it's not here either.

Why though? Unless you're really into mobile gaming, I don't see any difference in day to usage compared to more mid-range SoCs.

I so strongly disagree with that. The Snapdragon 7 gen 4 in the Fairphone6 is roughly on par with the Snapdragon 888 from 2020 (S21 series). You couldn’t pay me to daily drive an S21 Ultra, let alone pay 67% of an S25 (a mid cycle phone) for a phone with a 4 year old performance profile. 600$ can be a used S24 Ultra.
Android app devs just don’t optimize their apps enough that I’d be comfortable rocking this phone 3 years from now, which if I did, I’d be using a 7 year old processor at that point. No one in their right mind should have a phone that old.
