Long press of power and volume up for a few seconds puts you into BFU.

Does it or does it just simply disable biometrics but leave it an AFU? I would hope that if it's going to disable the biometrics, that it would put it in BFU. But I do not know.

I don’t know how it works under the hood, but from a user perspective it behaves like it’s in BFU. Biometrics disabled, phone code required.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Disabling the biometrics and requiring the pin is a good step. But I would like to see somebody test it to figure out whether it actually goes into BFU mode or not.
