Great writeup! Too bad the bootloader can't be unlocked (maybe if someone finds an exploit in the future).
I'd like to see bootloader unlock possibility mentioned in these reviews if possible, even if it's a niche subject.
More and more anti-consumer practices from these phone manufacturers.
Sony (non-US models) and Google at least still allow unlocking.
OnePlus and Xiaomi do as well but clearly want to make it more difficult with application processes and wait times.
