My 5a just shut off while I was using it and wouldn't turn back on one month after warranty period. Google was going to deny a replacement until I bitched that each previous pixel I had had died or became unusable and I was going to move to iphone. They gave me a "one time exception" and sent me a replacement. I traded it for a 7 but if this one dies I'm done.

I can't speak from experience outside my own issues with my 5a but supposedly they're better about that stuff now. One reason I'm interested in the 8 is the unlocked bootloader and their smallish form factor. I have a Zenfone 9 RN and I went to put lineageOS only to find out they locked the bootloader down six months after release 😭

Can you not unlock it yourself easily?

I don't think so, unless I'm missing something
