I REALLY don’t want sam’s ung on my phone.
Where do you live? Samsung phones in the US can’t unlock the bootloader
Even the factory unlocked ones?
Do any of them come factory unlocked? As far as I’m aware all Samsung phones made in the US are locked down
You’ve (almost) always been able to buy factory unlocked phones in the US.

That’s carrier unlocked. It means you can connect your phone to any carrier you want, as opposed to when you buy the phone from the carrier, who typically keep the phones locked to themselves (for a certain amount of time)
Yes. The carrier unlocked ones (historically) came with unlockable boot loaders. The carrier locked ones also don’t allow you to unlock. T-Mobile used to let you unlock your bootloaders, but I think recently they’ve stopped. But carrier unlocked? Those used to never be not unlockable.
I haven’t had a bootloader unlocked Samsung since the S4, and I’m not sure it was actually unlockable, it’s just the last US Samsung that I could root, which usually requires an unlockable boot loader.
Really? This should be forbidden by law.
You can use Universal android Debloater to remove all the crap from your phone. They have a recommendation of what apps to remove you can apply that then just hit run and it will uninstall the bloat. Did that with a a7 smaznug phone a while back
If you can’t find a custom ROM, you could try a GSI. iodéOS has one and it should theoretically work on an S23 FE, though the installation process will be slightly different because I believe you need to use Heimdall to flash third party firmware on Samsung devices. It’s not guaranteed everything will work smoothly with a GSI either, you may need to play around with the settings once installation is complete.
Nope. The three other S23 models have a GSI, but not the FE model.
