So far, the ONLY benefit I've seen about this phone is that of you go into the developer options, you can immediate jail break it.
Obtaining root isn't jailbreaking, it’s just taking full control of your linux-based system :)
Jailbreaking is so called because you have to escape the walled garden (jail) of apple products, which is a challenge because they wrote their own code. Not a problem you really have with android to begin with. You don’t even need root for most of what you want to do with android.
I want to install an app in September
Well shit, you can't have everything.
Tap for spoiler
/swhy are you defending proprietary software?
Well, you won't need root for that
You don't need root for that. Just use a third party rom, like Graphene, Lineage, etc..
You need bootloader access which is arguably a higher permission than root
Thanks for the protection, KNOX!
Ugh...
Jailbreaking does not only refer to apple products. It just means overcoming software limitations set by the manufacturer. Rooting an android phone is also jailbreaking
With you so far.
Not if the method to do so consists entirely of steps that the manufacturer allows and documents.
Depending on the manufacturer and model, unlockable bootloaders mean that custom software can be installed without a jail to break out of.
rooting and unlocking the bootloader are not the same thing. if the manufacturer provides steps to unlock the bootloader, then i agree that that is not jailbreaking
Sure, but the method of rooting that I'm familiar with (and one I suspect is the most popular) is to unlock the bootloader and modify a boot image that you can freely download from Google's website in accordance with their license, and then load and run that boot image onto your device.
To be fair, it kinda originated in the Apple world
rooting it or unlocking the bootloader?
Bootloader unlock, although there are basically no Android phones which support root and not bootloader unlock in 2026 since you generally need an unlocked bootloader to flash magisk
