I find it pretty objectionable that they have to allow it. The correct way to do bootloader unlocking is to enable a setting on the device, run fastboot oem unlock from a connected PC, and confirm on the device. The manufacturer should never know or care that it happened.
Too late for me, been keeping up with and wanting to order a zenfone 10 since it came out but just ordered a nothing phone 2 since my s20 broke a few weeks ago.
Even if Asus doesn’t allow a bootloader unlock, the community should find a way. I was able to unlock and relock my bootloader for the ROG Phone II using unofficial tools from the community.
How about the bootloader unlock?
Exactly. Cmon Asus, you got a sale if you just allow unlocking again.
