I have never really used any Android phones. But I saw the Flip 3 and am oddly allured to it. But would like to put something else in it for privacy and security. Is this possible? What should I use?
XDA Developers would be your best bet for new phone OS development.

XDA Developers would be my best bet too.

Looking through XDA forums I found this, about oem unlocking. The final post mentions that oem unlocking in the US hasn’t been available since the S7? I’m guessing that this means I won’t be able to do anything like install lineage os?
Should I take this topic to the XDA forums?
I think XDA is the place to ask. But sadly, I do think the locked phones are a real thing.

That is disappointing, I think I will go to XDA forums anyway and see for sure.
Thank you.
In case you asked them, what did they say?
I apologize, I have not asked them just yet. I have been busy. But I will get to it.
I did ask them and this was their response.
In short, it is not currently possible to use any other os on devices purchased in the US. So disappointing.

Yeah, you guys seem to be done dirty when it comes to internet and cellphones.
Ilove samsung phones but since they don’t allow OEM ulocking anymore, I stopped buying them. I would throw my wallet at them for a fold that allowed unlockable bootloaders and root.
I guess I have to wait for a Pixel fold.
I feel like buying a google device would be just as bad if not worse than buying one from Samsung, but if it were to have OEM Unlocking I guess it wouldn’t be that bad if I could just avoid google with it.
