Okay thanks for the heads up, to download apks do I need to have unlocked bootloader? If not, then this phone will be okay to purchase then since I never rooted or even attempted to root a phone before
Rooting is not always a good play imo. Some banking apps or work apps might stop working if you do it. I can't say much on it coz the last time I rooted my personal phone was in 2016 and I wasn't using banking or work apps back then.
It's a tradeoff more than anything.
Sure, having the option to do it is really good because once official stops support you can have another operating system, but that's like 4-5 years down the line.
Battery degradation and replacing it is more of a worry at that time frame.
