Samsung warns Galaxy Z Fold 3 users that unlocking the phone’s bootloader will disable the handset’s cameras
During the bootloader unlocking process on the Fold 3, the final page makes it clear that unlocking the bootloader will disable the phone’s camera system. Anything that uses the handset’s camera system will either timeout, return an error message, or remain dark. As a result, Galaxy Z Fold 3 owners who officially are expected to receive their phones this Friday, August 27th, will have an important decision to make.
Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 end Thursday, August 26th
Users can choose to unlock the bootloader on the Fold 3 allowing them to gain root access delivering to them an unfettered mobile experience on their phones, but at the risk of losing the handset’s camera systems, security features, and warranty.
