Here in Brazil, we will have only snapdragon variant. Every year here have unlocked bootloader.
There any chance of snapdragon unlocked bootloader variant?

Hi all,
I am contemplating purchasing a G7 because it ticks all the right boxes but I need dual sim limiting me to the EMW & EAW variants. Given the track record of the G6, is there any chance I will be able to unlock the bootloader in the future?
We should create and sign a petition to LG for all variants to be bootloader unlocked, otherwise LG would be on par with Samsung in sales. I'm ordering an US unlocked variant (G710ULM) to India. We know the launch date was 11th July 2018 in USA, but to present, no sign of bootloader unlock except EU variants .
Only europe version is unlocked for now...
Havent seen an international version on the recent phones that have been unlocked...
To my understanding the Chinese version of Snapdragon 845 is only one that can be bootloader unlocked. How do you tell if the version is Chinese? In the about screen it only says Snapdragon 845...
Where did you "understand" that from? And how those people knew where their chips was manufactured?
Also, even if that would be true (I don't buy it), it would mean that the specific CPU has a hidden bug that can be exploited by the Chinese government too... Is that what you want from your S9?

I got the info from here
*detection*
Code:
As long as they are Exynos, or the Chinese snapdragon, the US Model Snapdragons are bootloader locked
Check the model number. The SM-G9600 is the unlocked Snapdragon variant.

The SM-G960W does not have an unlockable bootloader.

That doesn't tell that the processor Snapdragon is Chinese or US, but that the phone models are US (and have the bootloader locked) or Chinese. So the title of this thread is wrong.
IMO there is no need to specify "US Snapdragon" since the US models have only Snapdragon chips. There is no "US Exynos".
model G9650 and G9600 are chinese/HK variant S9+/9 ,they are all snapdragon SOC and basically the same and can flash firmware to each other without breaking the knox. as I know G9650&9600 can be unlocked bootloader but few people would do it cuz losing samsung pay. you can go to odin flash mode to see if your s9/+ is whatever variant.
I recently saw an item g9650 in the description it said:
"This is a south america version samsung s9+ 64Gb SINGLE SIM with locked bootloader. Note here again this is single sim version, and the bootloader is NOT UNLOCKABLE. This will work only on ATT and TMOBILE"
Does this mean that only DS models are bootloader unlocked?

yes. the only S9s that have locked bootloaders are the USA variants. I do believe tho that the 9650s are GSM only tho despite having the snapdragon processor
