I mean i understand they wanna do something against unauthorized sellers, but fucking consumers in the process is wrong in any way.
It’s a joke that a phone provider can lock phones remotely no matter what.

Don’t pay much attention to me, the end user (Mexican)… but… I have a crazy idea… what about lowering prices? :D
Did you ever think about the rich shareholders who really need the extra money to buy another vacation home in Hawaii?
They realllyyyyyy needd theee moneeeey
I am so inconsiderate.
This is nauseating and shouldn’t be possible.
Companies love the free market until they don’t.
Free for companies, not free for customers.There seems to be a difference.
We should all just start LLCs before we do anything. I am not a lawyer but that’ll work right?
Geoblocking everything while moving their hq to tax havens and don’t pay shit.
I don’t know how Mexican laws about computer trespass work, but I think this would be a crime most places.
Devices purchased abroad for use in Mexico, though, will apparently not be disabled
How do they know where they purchased it?
30% Discount? You need to give the phone for free or for an extremely low shipment price.
This is a shit move to get money from more financially challenged people at that discount rate. It’s not their fault they paid for something they need from an “unauthorized” sellers, and definitely a lot of people don’t have the money to buy the phone again but from you.
As the article reads, seems like its more about Mexican regulation than anything else. Google doesnt stand to gain anything from that, only loss.
Also, easy enough to workaround.

They’re not spectacular but I love them as a work phone. They manage to have gestures for flashlight and camera that don’t drain the battery immediately. If anyone has recommendations for another brand with gestures or an app that’s fairly battery efficient please let me know.
My pixel 3 (running calyx) supports pinching the sides for the flashlight, screen off. I think it supports other gestures as well, but I just need quick access to flashlight and camera.
All to say, I believe at least the pixel line would do what you need, if there isn’t a gesture app.
I have a Motorola, and I like it a lot.
