I mean i understand they wanna do something against unauthorized sellers, but fucking consumers in the process is wrong in any way.
It’s a joke that a phone provider can lock phones remotely no matter what.

Don’t pay much attention to me, the end user (Mexican)… but… I have a crazy idea… what about lowering prices? :D
Did you ever think about the rich shareholders who really need the extra money to buy another vacation home in Hawaii?
They realllyyyyyy needd theee moneeeey
I am so inconsiderate.
First sale doctrine should forbid this behavior entirely. Once you sold it it’s not yours to disable.
The article doesn’t say they are offering a refund or replacement phone approved for mexico frequencies… so this is a massive dick move.
Do the phones start to work again if operated outside of Mexico?
Bricking phones by geolocation is massively evil and we should do everything we can to discourage it.
Custom bootloaders, recovery and ROMs are more quickly going from a nerdy gimmick to a necessity.
Samsungs Fold devices lose their camera functionality if you custom root 😂
Extreme bummer. I am actually dreaming of getting a Fold. Maybe as custom ROMs develop, I am sure it’s just they have not yet understood how to properly implement it.
Samsung has deliberately fucked the user.
All the more surprising that Google of all brands makes it so easy to do on their devices
Most of google doesnt care about ongoing hardware sales, so the software teams can do cool things.
i have heard of custom Roms and even TWRP, but custom Bootloaders?!
Companies love the free market until they don’t.
Geoblocking everything while moving their hq to tax havens and don’t pay shit.
30% Discount? You need to give the phone for free or for an extremely low shipment price.
This is a shit move to get money from more financially challenged people at that discount rate. It’s not their fault they paid for something they need from an “unauthorized” sellers, and definitely a lot of people don’t have the money to buy the phone again but from you.
Do they know about that thanks to IMEI right?
