Does Sony still support unlock of bootloader at all?
You should browse XDA and telegram groups to find out one that has at least an unofficial port, then hope it will became official at some point...
Most unofficial ports works just fine. Heck I still use unofficial build for my phone even if official is available.
As far as I know, yes.
I have a Xperia 1 VI (XQ-EC72) and bootloader is unlockable.
For best results, don't go with the US/UK versions, go global.
Seems like it's not an issue: https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader Just have to get the key through Sony. Also there isn't a need for Unofficial ports if I were to get one of the devices listed here which are officially supported by LOS
Make sure to check for camera support. When I unlocked the bootloader from an old Xperia phone, camera performance was reduced a lot.
Pictures were never the same after that.
Interesting! Good insider tip, thanks!
