Big Galaxy S24 leak reveals Samsung's strategy against Google's Pixel phone
Samsung might copy Google's trick: seven years of updates for the Galaxy S24.
Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:
Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.
The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.
There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.
You're viewing a single thread.
Samsung could easily win me over if their bootloader was unlock able.
Edit: Apparently it's just US variants that can't be unlockedWell, bootloader unlock toggle in developer options and fastboot eom unlock are available, am I missing something?
Not in the US.
Even the ones that are not carrier-locked?
Yeah, my S22 Ultra was carrier unlocked but the bootloader was not unlockable.
Strange, never seen such threads on xda. Could you provide screenshots of developer options around "Demo mode" setting?
Look for SM-S908U1 specifically. There are a few threads (like this one), but I think most US XDA users were just implicitly aware of how Samsung operated in the US. This was my first device from them and I was caught unawares.
I'm back on Pixel now.
@Gallardo994 @Osiris you can’t if you have Samsung with Snapdragon
I have Snapdragon variant of S23U (UAE version) and the bootloader is unlockable, are you sure it's snapdragon specific and not just US-specific, or carrier-specific?
wdym, you just go to dev options and allow it, then reboot and do fastboot unlock.
press power button a couple of times (THIS WILL TRIP KNOX E-FUSE PERMANENTLY WITHOUT ANY WAY TO RECOVER), wait for data to be erased and boom it's unlockedIt is tho?
They aren't? My phone has an option to unlock it, tho I haven't used it.
