Yay! I hope they figure out a way around the no-sideloading BS too

i would have thought it would be oneplus, but theyve recently made bootload unlocking more restrictive, unless theyre walking back on that for graphene
isnt that only in thier newer and future models, im using the 12r, and you can still unlock it, im not saavy enough to change the OS.
Samsung phones are probably a no-go though, right? No way around their locked bootloader?
The phone would be shipping with GrapheneOS, you don't need to unlock the bootloader if you are the OEM installing the OS.
One of their comments mentions that having it preinstalled may or may not happen. The aim atm seems to be the current Pixel situation where you unlock the device and install it yourself.
The project explained that only Pixels have met its strict security and update requirements so far.
Have they explained before what these requirements are?
I mean good for them for finally pulling their head outta their ass but this is again for rich people only. y'all who don't got no bricks of cash to spend on new & shiny slabs of glass - get fucked as usual.
