    You can also buy it preinstalled on a fairphone through Murena’s website. And the bootloader is locked.

    I understand installing e/os yourself sometimes gets you stuck with an unlocked bootloader. I have no idea if that’s true for Nothing phones, but thought I’d post up an alternative for those concerned about that.

      I don’t understand why most people consider that having the bootloader locked is so important. You’ll get a terrifying warning message when you start your phone. But without a physical access to your phone and your password, no one can do anything.

        Banking apps and some authenticators won’t work on a phone with an unlocked bootloader.
