You can unlock the bootloader of almost any phone in the EU.

Now, there will be literally no custom firmware for it, but its still possible.

Well, that would be nice, but it's still not all of them. Unfortunately, I own a Zenfone 10 as my main driver, and Asus have not released the unlock tools they promised since Zenfone 9. And, afaik, this is applicable to a lot of the top producers, with a few exceptions.

I can't wait for the new regulations to properly settle in, hopefully we'll start seeing full unlocks with the upcoming generations...
