      Many people on Reddit told me that Motorola mobiles in the US don’t have unlockable bootloaders.

      Does Samsung have locked bootloaders in the US, or is that carrier-specific?

        Samsung is a separate kettle of fish in that they make things difficult while keeping the bootloader technically unlocked. Things like a lack of fastboot option, or bespoke for Samsung security changes, and a whole mess of other things. Carriers do also impose addition restrictions for locked models.

          Does Odin still work for Samsung devices in the US? I was warned against getting a budget Samsung because someone said ODIN is just for the European models
