I find it pretty objectionable that they have to allow it. The correct way to do bootloader unlocking is to enable a setting on the device, run fastboot oem unlock from a connected PC, and confirm on the device. The manufacturer should never know or care that it happened.
Too late for me, been keeping up with and wanting to order a zenfone 10 since it came out but just ordered a nothing phone 2 since my s20 broke a few weeks ago.
Even if Asus doesn’t allow a bootloader unlock, the community should find a way. I was able to unlock and relock my bootloader for the ROG Phone II using unofficial tools from the community.
Although now I just picked a phone that has the longest support that is available in my area. As with everything, with more age comes less time to fuck around configuring your PCs and smartphones.
How about the bootloader unlock?
Exactly. Cmon Asus, you got a sale if you just allow unlocking again.
