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.
True, bank are using stupid rules sometime. I had a revolut account before switching to /e/os deleted it because of this. This was not my main account and I dont have issue with the other bank apps, so I can understand the problem.
That said when you are switching to a custom you’ll always have some limitations you just have to know were you set the bar, and this is really personal choice.

You can put this on a Nothing CMF Phone 1 btw.

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

Depends on the bank. Root seems to be all the ones I use check for.
