I do not plan to purchase it from a carrier. Yes, I’m in the US. Is this even possible?

    I have heard that the newer S series mobiles in the US cannot be unlocked even without purchasing it from a carrier?

      Would search the ungoogle subs. Pixels are definitely unlockable as lots are flashing graphene os.

        Pixels are certainly a good idea, but I’m afraid of trusting Google that much. The community is focussing so much of their efforts into a company that is known to shut things down/make things harder for FOSS

          Absolutely. The best unlockable phones used to be OnePlus but I’m no longer sure. Pixels seemed to be pretty good for graphene but as you said it might stop working at some point
