>>106540979>too bad they cost 1000 buxI get a free one every year or so just with airline miles bro, why are you buying phones?
>>106541005nta but I will never buy a chinese-owned smartphone again. Yeah I know everything is made in china but these phones always shit the bed after a year or two regardless of manufacturer. I don't know if it's Sony and others just have stricter QC or what

>>106541396>The following manufacturers require an online account and/or a waiting period before unlocking.>SonyThis is false. I've unlocked my Xperias and it requires no such thing.You go to this page,https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloaderSelect your phone (or close to it if it's really new sometimes)Enter your IMEIcheck two boxessubmitit gives you the unlock code
>>106541444And look at that, Xperia mark V models can be relocked with Android Verified Boot, just like the vaunted Google Pixel phones,https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/issues/299
>>106541396>>106541424Thanks anons. I haven't browsed much /g/ lately and completely missed samsung removing oem unlock on one ui 8.I wonder if I should buy an S25 ultra and install a custom rom immediately or switch to another brand..
>>106540953I use a pinephone pro and I will continue using it until there comes another phone I can install linux on
>>106542076>buy an S25 ultraDont. Even on unlockable bootloader you may still run into dead camera issues
it's near impossible to find Xperia phones, they're all out of stock
>>106542125Can you please elaborate? hw defects?
>>106542125plus no volte on custom roms
>>106542183I'm about to drop the gooksung idea. Volte will work with modded stock roms I assume? There's no more 3g where I'm at.
>>106542260yes volte will work with modded stock
