It's a hit or miss with them... my old Nokia 6.1 (ditto HMD) came with no option to unlock the bootloader.

Based on some superficial Googling, this phone's predecessor, G21 also comes without an unlockable bootloader.

I just unlocked a 6.1 for free using a method described on a website techmesto.com. Not affiliated, just can vouch for the process.

Cool thing about 6.1 is that it's officially supported by LineageOS
