Unlocked means it’s not tied to a carrier (mobile phone provider).
Not too sure about the rest of the world, but North America has a huge problem with carrier-locked devices. You buy a phone from YourCellProvider, and you’re stuck using the phone only with YourCellProvider.
Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please
I need one for general purposes only, NOT for gaming, so I don’t really care about gaming-related features....
