I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

brute force it with root

you literally cannot prevent root from doing anything.

What happens wen they prevent rꝏting tho ? Samsung already doing it

they can't prevent it so far. samsungs will just go back to needing root exploits like everyone else before them.

add to the fact they refuse to keep security updating phones for too long.

I will NOT buy devices that i can't root, therefore i cannot own.
