Xiaomi makes it harder to unlock your bootloader, stops Android updates if you do

Xiaomi just launched its new “HyperOS” skin for Android devices, but in a bit of a twist of the knife...

    Once its unlocked it trips a fuse on a hardware level.

    A pixel is better but not perfect

      I think that’s Samsung. The Pixels don’t have a fuse AFAIK.

        I’ve never owned a Samsung device. I just know that unlocking a pixel voids the warranty

          No it doesn’t. Also you can just relock the bootloader. Google doesn’t care.

          Not enforceable in Europe. The OEM would have to explicitly prove that the bootloader unlock is what caused the issue that brought about the warranty claim.

          And how do you “just know” that? Any sources? Everything I’ve read and even done with my Pixel says otherwise, though I do return to stock and relock before returning.
