    I was able to get the unlock code from the Motorola website, but if this is a concern for you, I would recommend the Pixel A series instead. You’re going to have the best bet with bootloader unlocking on those devices.

      I have pixel 4 and pixel 1 right now, both are getting old, pixel 4 was bought in official google store in us not carrier locked, it was bugged and couldn’t be unlocked, support said sucks to suck just go to store and we will give you a new one. Problem was, at the time I was on another continent already. 🫠

        Oh, I’m sorry you had that experience. I had the original pixel, and the pixel 3a, and had both of them unlocked. Oneplus is also pretty good about unlocking their boot loaders without too much hassle. So that might be something you might also consider. If you’re interested in running lineage OS, just look at the official website to see what one plus devices are supported before purchasing. I currently have the OnePlus Nord N200 5G Unlocked running lineage OS 21
