For many Android users, unlocking the bootloader on a device usually just means good things, especially in terms of customization. However, for owners of the Xperia Z3 Sony has words of caution.

On Sony’s official page dedicated to unlocking the bootloader on its Xperia devices, Sony has a couple of warnings to hand out. The first is not surprising to anyone who has unlocked the bootloader in the past, as Sony reiterates that doing so can void the warranty on your handset. At the same time, the manufacturer warns that unlocking the bootloader can remove access to “certain preloaded content,” due to the removal of DRM security keys associated with them.

When it comes to the Xperia Z3 specifically, Sony notes that if you unlock the bootloader you could see many features tied to the camera take a significant hit to their performance and quality. Sony says that if you go through with the process, you could see low-light performance decrease significantly, as well as lose features like the noise reduction algorithms.

As one more warning, Sony says you could lose access to official software updates issued by the company.

In the image just above, you can see what it looks like to take an image with the camera in the Xperia Z3 after the bootloader has been unlocked, when compared to an image taken with an Xperia Z1 Compact on the bottom. Despite having similar camera set ups, the one on the bottom looks much better than the one on the top.

Do you unlock the bootloader on all of your Android devices?
