    For peeps who want a lower cost option, Motorola allows easy unlocking too. I have a moto g7 power that I got for under $100 running Lineageos with microG. Its a six year old phone but it runs Android 14 just fine. I work in construction and I don’t even use a case because these Motorola phones are durable and inexpensive.

      The easy unlocking isn’t the killer feature with regards to bootloader.
      Being able to lock the bootloader again after having installed GrapheneOS is though.

        I mean, who cares if your boot loader is locked? I have ran unlocked since cyanogen mod days and never had a single issue. I’d rather have a better phone and root tbh

          At least the ones supported by GrapheneOS, so the Pixels, but I haven’t really looked into it, so there may be more phones that do.
