New mate owner

[taita87]

Hi all.. new mate 20 Pro arriving next week. Total cost is 300€, cannot pass over it.

I own an iPhone 6s from 3.5 years (glass broken and battery already replaced two times).

Previously owned a nexus 4 for 3 years, so I'm not new to android.



I didn't want to spend >1000€ For the Xs max or the S10+, got this offer and placed the order.

I can also get the p30 Pro for 480 but I valued more the saved cash, battery life and best face unlock (I often have sweaty hands and I'm dreaming of face unlock).



From what I understood you can actually root the mate, right?
I don't see the developing sub forum, why is that?

Sorry I can't answer your questions...I'm new too. Posting here to watch to see if you get any answers.

There's really no point of root in 9.1 and onwards imo, everything is R/O due to the new file system.

I guess there's some workarounds for adblocking etc but for me there's no need for root.

If you want an aosp experience there's openkirin, pretty stable and only need unlocked bootloader.

Right now there are mto unlock code available so you can't root the mate
Maybe in the future we will have again the possibility do buy codes

Read only, and until we can get read write there's no point in rooting

As said on posts before it's hard to root it because of the bootloader locked, but to be honest I have done root on all my phone and it's the first one I don't need to, I would love to just for substratum but it looks such a pain in the harse to unlock the bootloader so I'll pass....
