    Almost pulled the trigger on a Skyline, but then read about the bootloader not being unlockable, and hmd “promising” to make it unlockable at a later time. That’s bullshit right there - if you offer only 2 years of software support you better make the bootloader unlockable, otherwise it’s e-waste.

      I recall ASUS doing something similar with the Zenfone 10 and then never following through.

        Me crying on my Zenfone 10 right now. Shame because it’s a brilliant phone.

      I suspect bad faith any time a company doesn’t do it the Pixel way (dev settings and fastboot unlock).
