    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.

          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)

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