Does "enable OEM unlock" fall outside the developer settings?

Your phone is located in the Asia-Pacific region.

US model? Probably not unlockable. There are a few versions that won't work, and some Snapdragon chips can be unlocked. Exynos models seem to be fully unlockable.

You reach out to Samsung requesting access to your purchased phone or explore XDA-Developers discussions. It seems @OhioYJ might be right—that your device could be locked, indicating you don’t fully own it despite the purchase.

That's the standard US setup. I only have Samsung tablets, but a quick look on XDA suggests you might not have many options.

There’s nothing possible to unlock via OEM.

You can explore options on XDA. I checked briefly, and it looked like a particular version might be rooted, though not unlocked—rooting usually needs specific firmware. It seems you're facing a challenge with that model. You might need a different device to unlock it. You could try flashing a different regional firmware, which is sometimes possible on certain devices. However, I suspect this isn't straightforward for your setup, as similar issues are likely discussed in the community threads. It wasn't mentioned anywhere.
