đ¨ RED ALERT: Android 16 on Samsung is a Crypto Trap đ¨
Google's plan for Android 16 includes removing the "OEM Unlocking" option. Samsung is expected to implement this, locking you into the Google Play Store.
What this means for your crypto:
You will lose the ability to "sideload" APK files or use alternative app stores.
â
If MetaMask is banned due to regulation â You cannot install it.
â
If Trust Wallet, Ledger Live are removed â You cannot install them.
â
If a malicious update is pushed â You cannot install a safe, older version.
Your financial sovereignty will be held hostage by Google and Samsung's app store policies.
The bottom line: An Android 16 Samsung phone will be a walled garden where your access to crypto is granted only by permission.
â
THE FIX (Act BEFORE the update):
Get a phone with an unlockable bootloader NOW (Google Pixel, certain models).
UNLOCK ITS BOOTLOADER IMMEDIATELY. This is a one-time procedure that permanently preserves your freedom to install any app, regardless of future Android versions.
Use a Hardware Wallet (Trezor/Ledger). This ensures your seed phrase never relies on a phone's app store. Your keys remain safe even if app access is cut off.
