Welcome everyone to r/Android's recruitment post! It's been a rather long time since we've done this so I'm happy to announce that we're looking for some additional support. Our wonderful community and modteam has gone through some changes over the years and recent times and we feel it's time to get some more help so we can serve you better.

Why are we not seeing root/bootloader unlocks anymore?

I really dislike the descisions from manufactorers to lock their bootloaders, prevent rooting etc.

On some phones its possible, but what happened to the more wider android phones?

On iOS, universal jailbreaks are released that are not patchable by software. I miss the days where this happened to android, it's been years since i feel we had some serious exploit hunters in the space.

Imagine a Samsung Note 9 SE, would you buy?

If Samsung pulls an Apple, and did an SE of the Note 9

Same everything, except they put in the fastest Snapdragon at the time and swap out the Telephoto Lens for an Ultrawide.

Same headphone jack, wireless charging, IP rating, S Pen, 4000mah battery and all

8GB 256GB

$699

Comes out 2021 April (same 2 year and a half after the original one)

The price should be made possible by reusing the same design, a manufacturing process that they have streamlined since the note 8 (only slight modification from note 8 to 9). Although I don't think they can get it as low as apple did at 399 because Apple has used that same design for 3-4 generation and the fact that my note 9 SE is just straight up more tech. So $699 seem to make sense.

But the problem is Samsung can't really sell you services after luring you in with a cheaper phone like apple can.

What do you think?
