When the P30 came out, you could unlock the bootloader for 5€. That offer to unlock it was deleted not a year after it came out. And even if you could still unlock it, if I have to go to an external website to do it, let alone PAY FOR THE THING I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, that thing is going into the trash.
If you cant run a degoogled and privacy focused OS on it, it dosent exist.
i thought huaweis could be unlocked? has that changed?
You’re almost definitely thinking of xiaomi, which almost always sell as unlockable carrier independent models.
