>>108510130Maybe there's hardware level backdoors, so they don't care either way
>>108510130>>108510130You mean to tell me absolutely NO ONE has figure this shit out, yet? Hasn't ANYONE on the planet managed to reflash the chip on these Snapdragon mobos to allow OEM unlock to install Graphene and other phone OSs? How is this reality a thing? Absolutely 0 DIYers? I can't accept that.
>>108510226Motorola uses the exact same chips everyone else does and allows you to flash your own ROMs onto their phones. It's a vendor software problem, and somehow Google is one of those vendors that bothers to give you the choice of what OS to run on the hardware you bought.

The same reason Google funds Mozilla.As long as there are viable alternatives, they can argue they're not a monopoly/duopoly, but as long as the alternatives are at Google's mercy, Google controls the market for all practical intents and purposes.
>>108510258Motorolas carry Snapdragon chips. I didn't know this
>>108510415It also could be the fact that Google, Motorola and Snoy all use AOSP, while Smasnug and chinkshits use their own fancy schmancy skins and lock down the hardware around them, which is extremely fucking gay.
>>108510130You must apply to Snoy developer website to unlock modern Snoy phones :^) Only the CN versions are truly unlocled. Pixels also need a valodation tokem from Goolag before you can unlock them. OnePlus Global, Nothing and Motorola are the only unlocked devices.
>>108510648>You must apply to Snoy developer website to unlock modern Snoy phonesIn my case I only needed to enter my device ID to get an unlock code. Motorola also requires online verification before the unlock.

USERS not developers
