is this only on their graphine devices? or are they leaving their android stock devices unlockable as well
Exactly my thoughts/concerns. I seem to remember Motorola has a decent reputation when it comes to unlocking bootloaders, though.
I haven't seen them say anything about their older phones so I would assume this only applies to the new one
I was meaning more of their Android by default phones, like most retailers are going to only sell the android version
they specify the grapheneos devices so I'm assuming they have a dedicated graphene OS product line.
I can't imagine that a standard android version of the same phone would not also have the relockable boot loader. But I wouldn't necessarily expect that feature to be on every phone series though.
