Google shouldn't be our shining light on phone rules lol
pixels are by far the best to degoogled your phone and to have privacy/security/freedom actually
they go above and beyond letting you unlock your bootloader
Oneplus? Bootloader is easily unlocked and it can be debloated easily after root
This 100%
Rooting is a terrible security risk and there's no point in doing it. You won't see the popular roms like GrapheneOS, /e/, or CalyxOS supporting it.
Lol this is the technology page and you're going to try to make the argument to not root(/jailbreak) a phone?.. Genuinely lold
Yes...? You can have custom roms without sacrificing security. There's genuinely no reason to root anymore.
Can't tell if troll or not
Can you use English words to explain why you think this is wrong, or are you just wasting internet bandwidth
Beepboop robot didn't understand
See why GrapheneOS only supports pixels
