Interesting considering that until 2015 (Galaxy S6), Samsung phones had removable batteries, and even now, the Galaxy XCover Pro has one.
Also, most Samsung phones, at least the flagships are easy to bootloader unlock / root and have an active community.
It looks like Samsung position has always been "do whatever you want with your phone, just don't expect us to help you with that", which is actually much better than many manufacturers who actively try to stop you.
Note: I don't count carrier-subsidized phones. These are not really your phone anyway, they are leased by your carrier.
- commoner 5y ago> Also, most Samsung phones, at least the flagships are easy to bootloader unlock / root and have an active community. The North American versions of the Galaxy S series phones (which use Snapdragon processors) have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked. Only the non-NA ones (which use Exynos processors) have unlockable bootloaders.
