You have a choice here if you're tech savy and a ROM is available for your specific baseband. I've so far been unlucky with my S6 because I have a rather obscure baseband.
I'm not saying it's anywhere near as bad as living in NK, but the "open" option is not at all known or available to what I'd estimate at 95+% of the population, and many fewer will actually use it.
- cyphar 9y agoDon't get me wrong, the "open" option is complete shit at the moment. The fact that Replicant (and _actually_ free Android distribution) supports so few devices (and has so many caveats) is horrifying. There is effectively no way to use a modern smartphone and also exercise your software freedoms.
