Are there any devices that, by default/by design, allow the user to unlock the bootloader totally offline, no ransom, validation, account, internet or whatever required?

    I have a Blu B131DL that allows the bootloader to be unlocked without being online. No WiFi, no SIM card, it just simply allows unlocking. No catches.

    I haven’t actually done anything with it though, it’s still on its stock Android 11, but it’s nice to know I have that option.

        It’s definitely not a top notch phone, so don’t expect it to be a powerhouse of a gaming phone or whatever, but it’s actually a pretty decent phone to be fair.

        It doesn’t have many sensors, only the accelerometer, light, proximity, and significant motion sensors, so don’t expect it to work with RFID or NFC devices either. No compass sensor either ☹️

        But where it lacks in power and features, it makes up for in an amazing battery life, plus even the stock Android ain’t too damn bad. 👍
