Other than being unlocked, is this phone worth $200?
Great phone, nice display, good battery life, mediocre camera. Not for AAA gaming, comes with android 14 and only one major update to android 15 and 3 years of security updates. One of the few phones that still comes with a headphone jack and an SD card slot, nice to have if you're into HD audio.
I don't use the stylus much at all, but it does have some handy shortcuts if you're into that.
If it were me, I'd look into the 2025 version as it has some nice improvements such as 2 major updates from android 15, faster charging, an upgraded screen, and an IP 68 rating.

While there are some good deals on the 128GB version of this through carriers with service, those models have the bootloader locked down tight which means no root and no future custom rom potential. I know it doesn't matter to most, but rootability is a bare minimum for me to consider a phone.

From what I recall reading the XDA forums, for the purposes of patching the boot image, regular Magisk may not work, but Kitsune Mask does.
No Lineage roms as of yet, but someone apparently was able to run a GSI rom with minimal problems.
