    You are aware that you cannot unlock the bootloader on the S9 Plus, right?

      Enynox variant of Galaxy S9 has unlocked bootloader. The problem is with the US variant only.

        Is this the reason why I never see OEM unlock in my Enynox S9 even after waiting for 1 month? I bought it from Singapore. Does it mean its already factory OEM locked?

          What’s your device model number?

          There is no point of looking for OEM unlock in a Snapdragon variant. Please check Setting > About phone and let me know your device model number.

    I’m the first time Samsung owner.

    I like the S9 system software extras. I think they are part of Samsung UX though I’m not sure, maybe its just Oreo that is new to me. If I upgrade to 8.1 Project Treble, what is it that I lose with the Samsung UX, what does it include?

      Project Treble is AOSP based naked OS. So, you won’t get Samsung UX in that ROM.
