I have been considering replacing my nearly 7 year old iPhone (although very reluctant) and I was checking for options. Really the only phone that caught my eye was the Sony xperia 1 V, but I found no information about how to degoogle and lock down the device. I really like the features and the built in camera apps, etc. Is there a way to degoogle the phone without loosing the funcionality/ease of use?
“Don’t provide bootloader unlocks” https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
OP’s phone, Xperia 1 V, is on this website and requires an IMEI number only to generate an unlock code
