I dropped Samsung after the combo hit of removing thr micro sd card slot and preinstallation of Facebook. Went Motorola G stylus and was mindbown by the performance on it. I have no idea why I was paying 1.2k on my devices, this one is third to half the price and does everything without the bloat. Makes me wish I had done this a couple years ago instead of repeatedly cycling through S20s that were just lemons. would have probably saved myself some money.
I havent unlocked mine cause I didn’t get it used and while I know its not legal for them to do, I don’t have the energy to fight them if I did try and do a warranty claim since they state they invalidate warranties when you unlock the boot loader
Yeah, I did not unlock mine yet, only started the process to make sure it’s possible. That’s the nuclear option for whenever lockdown happens here. What is really needed is the relockable bootloader, i.e. Moto’s supposed upcoming GrapheneOS phone.
Thank fuck debloating is still possible without bootloader unlock or root.

I got a used Stylus 2024 and removed everything recommended on the debloat lists, using Shizuku and Canta, and now my battery lasts three days.
All of the (non-Verizon) Motos I’ve seen have unlockable bootloaders, too.
