> EDIT: some people say that in the EU they cannot lock you out of warranty for rooting the device, because non hardware modifications are not cause for warranty removal. But I haven't tried that, so I don't know. Even if it’s not allowed in Europe, IIRC, unlocking and tripping the e-fuse comes with a new boot screen with a huge "unsecure device" that you can’t get rid of. And you are also definitely locked out of device encryption and Samsung Pay. So even if warranty is not void, you are paying it by not being able to resell your phone (at least at a normal price).
