i thought huaweis could be unlocked? has that changed?
You're almost definitely thinking of xiaomi, which almost always sell as unlockable carrier independent models.
When the P30 came out, you could unlock the bootloader for 5€. That offer to unlock it was deleted not a year after it came out. And even if you could still unlock it, if I have to go to an external website to do it, let alone PAY FOR THE THING I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, that thing is going into the trash.
Eh good luck selling it with a locked bootloader, lots of bloatware preinstalled, without Google apps AND an update planned for next month that will remove completely the possibility of running any android app
