Hope that when you get a phone whose bootloader is (or can be) unlocked, you can lock it again after flashing the fully open-source Android OS that you like, and that is for security reasons. 🤗🤓

While it's true that keeping the bootloader unlocked does create an attack vector, I never had a problem with it. As long as unlocking and locking it again did not require a lot of effort, then I'd likely do it. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

#GrapheneOS can be installed on phones which allow both unlocking and relocking the bootloader, though only G phones are supported. 🤯🤓

Indeed, I've heard a lot about GrapheneOS quite a lot lately, though I don't have any experience with it yet. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

One drawback of that OS is that it can be installed only on Pixel phones, which already turns some potential users away. 🤯🤓

Yes, I've seen that. The most important features on a phone for me are a very good camera, a lot of internal storage, and a slot for an SD card, aside from an unlocked bootloader, which unfortunately I can't get from my present carrier. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

People who are highly knowledgeable about computers say that the hardware itself of the device is also a potential attack vector. 🤯🤓

Yes, sadly that is very true. Some chip makers put back doors on their CPUs, that can be accessed regardless of the OS. There are other components like that as well. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
