This is exactly why I sent my Zenphone 9 back. Shame because it was such a good little phone and one of the few flagships with a headphone jack.
- ~~Zenfone 9 can't be bootloader unlocked?~~ Edit : I thought it was for future Zenfones only.
  
  Nope. At least not when I bought mine only a couple of months ago, I guess right when they blocked the unlocking tool from being used. Super annoying.
