Please, don't buy this device. You're better off with anything other than Samsung. Trust me.
@LavaSnake54, thanks for the feedback. Have you had a S9(+) in the past? What are you using right now?

Thanks for the info. It doesn't have to be a dual sim one. It's just that I live in Canada and have been with Koodo for a long time but the only S9/S9+ I can buy from them, for a decent price, is the Snapdragon version which, if I'm not mistaken is still unrootable. I then found a couple of S9s with the Exynos processor on amazon.ca. Darn, it's starting to be a real pain in the a** to find a decent phone that can be rooted!

* Appendix 1.a:
As a semi-off-topic example(with apologies to the RR Maintainer here). I recently accidentally broke a reasonably new and up-to-date phone. Until I could replace the broken tracking-device, being the working-class pauper that I find myself to be, I was forced to use an old device, which was updateable, via a years old custom ROM, to only as modern an Android as version 2.3, Gingerbread.
Being the brunt of chuckles and mild ridicule at the smoking corner at work, as I surfed the WAP on 2g, not one person, or robot, stole my identity, pilfered my bank account, hacked my "Facebook For Old Mobiles", nor did I even suspect or get the niggling feeling that anything similarly untoward was imminent in those few weeks that I went Marty McFly.
If anything, I reckon(correctly) that, the more modern our devices and softwares become, so the more open to documenting and cataloguing our very lives becomes.
@D4ND310, sorry to hear about your predicament although I couldn't help myself laughing!
I think that you're spot on about not having to worry that any of your info getting stolen. I'm still using a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Resurrection Remix on it. I do a lot of cycling, hiking, that type of stuff and dropped my phone a few times. Some "air bubbles" formed under the corners of the glass so I removed the glass/digitizer from it. It's still working fine except for the display which looks a little pale because the glass is being held to the phone with 2 rubber bands. I just bought a non-working genuine S5 with the glass/digitizer block in a1 shape and will just replace the one on my phone. I didn't want to buy just any non-gorilla glass off amazon or ebay.
Last week, I bought my wife a Huawei P30 Pro even though I was aware of the bootloader being locked (for the time being). Another reason I bought it was about all the US/Google controversy. I hate that when governments/corporations, etc. try to manipulate me, using fear tactics to make choices for me. The Canadian P30's Pro bootloader is locked but I deactivated a bunch of the bloat on it and installed adguard and so far so good. I think it will do until there's a way to root it. It takes great pictures, which my wife wanted in a phone.
As for me, I just want a solid phone (rootable) with a good quality screen. I don't play games, don't use Facebook (I had an account in the mid 2000s when it started but didn't get into it, so deleted it), Instagram, etc. I use it mostly as a cycling, hiking computer, traveling (to book and find info), texting, that type of stuff. It would just be nice to have a screen that's a little larger than my S5.
I hope that everything will work out for you and your Gingerbread experience!
BTW, on what phone model did you break the tracking device?
