How do they hardware lock to sim cards from EU? Are they mechanically different from sim cards from the other regions?

Because different countries have different broadcast standards, you retard. I'm guessing your parents still pay your phone bill and you've never left whatever backwater fuckhole you were raised in?

They really do not, Japan is one of the few exceptions

you shouldn't import phones anyways
unless you know how to change the cellular frequencies recieved by the phone
it's down to the cellular provider within the country standard, usually they will work abroad but not as well as if it were on the correct frequency

Money.

Even digital games on Steam can be region-locked.

If Game X is $60 USD in america, but $35 USD in brasil, you bet they don't want you buying from brasil
