I would love to go for a Samsung tablet but my only isssue is the locked bootloader. Which I wouldn't care about if I liked the android skin but for some reason I just can't get behind anything other than aosp or aosp adjacent. Also with the upcoming restrictions on side loading I am thinking rooting is going to be a necessity.
Edit: sorry for the multiple replies jerboa decided to make duplicates
FWIW I didn't bother unlocking the S9, I just use Shizuku when apps need elevated permission to do things and it's worked out fairly well so far. I don't have to play the cat and mouse integrity spoofing game anymore or wrangle manually flashing updates with a laptop so that's nice. Totally up to you what you're going for, I don't need lsposed for anything critical right now so elevated perms is enough for my purposes.
