Alright, so I need a phone and my main usage is playing PUBGm, watching content and since I'm on XDA, it would obviously mean that I would like to root it and boot it. I've got my eyes set on the ZMP 6gb variant for some time now but the upcoming RealMe 2 Pro has some really sweet specs. So should I get this or wait for it.

Check whether Realme 1 had got bootloader unlock and root within a reasonable time (if at all it did). It will give you a better perspective.

Grab the poco instead, I gave my 6gb zenfone to mom after I got poco and the difference is day and night, this phone has poor poor audio quality, wired or wireless and network though shows full has call drop issues which I don't get in poco in same place at home. Camera is pathetic on this phone unless you get gcam which is does not work flawlessly on 6gb version. Display is so dull compared to poco and don't even talk about performance. In short only place this phone really shine is 20% larger battery than poco but it has such poor slow charging rate that while playing pubg it won't charge single bit. In comparision you pay 6k more get excellent screen, stellar performance, way better audio quality and network coverage (poco supports 4g+) fast charging and way way better camera. Realme as owned by oppo does not allow to unlock bootloader. Not advertising poco but I love it so much I think anyone who is willing to spend 15k would be a fool to not spend 6k extra and get poco instead. Hope this helps.

Watching content works in 720p? With the widevine thingy...

If you want hassle free rooting and stuff then our device has it going already. I guess as someone already mentioned oppo maybe doesn't allow bootloader unlocking.
If you can stretch your budget then poco is a good buy for your requirements, if you don't mind the notch or miui.

To me, that's the only major thing that this phone lags, people who say watching it in SD or HD is the same thing on such a small screen is just some BS. Watching Netflix and prime in HD is just amazing and I sorely miss it but I've moved to watch it on the laptop now since my laptop's screen is FHD so it takes advantage of FHD streaming. So yea there is no workaround as of now for streaming in HD or FHD. If one can live with streaming SD or have an option to stream somewhere else this is the phone for you. Hope this helps.

Wait

Wait . Dont hurry for the Zenfone . Its not that Zenfone is a bad phone but the Realme 2 Pro is going to shake the market as it is going be the most affordable phone with SD660 which is really nice processor for gaming and other stuff . If you play games like PUBG you must wait for it to arrive . The CEO of the Chinese Company has promised to deliver better experience at low price.

If you are in a hurry , go for Zenfone Max Pro M1 6GB Variant or the Mi A2

dont wait for realme 2 because u will not be able to unlock bootloader
Buy moto one power
But if you want a phone for pubg then buy asus zenfone max pro m1 beacuse moto one power has a notch and very rounded corners which will cut some screen contents
And asus max m1 has 6gb ram in that price
