    Yes, and up to not long ago, also completely different hardware (exynos vs snapdragon). US samsung devices usually cannot be bootloader unlocked. Rest of the world usually can. No idea why.

      Maybe like apple, it promised to give your data to the US government and you can probably bypass that if you unlock your bootloader. It is one thing to bend to goverment pressure but it is a whole another level of fucked up shit to take away any means of escaping from it looks at apple and samsung
