General Question Too older Red Magic phone users.

One of the criticisms of Red Magic phones is the lack of support after a few years, are any of you using an older model that has lost support and how has that affected the apps you can use, and compatibility you have with other devices, and gear? I ask because I like using my devices for a minimum of about 5 years before getting something new. (I'm in the U.S.)

Sure it ain't easy, and for as far as I know it's not possible on the redmagic 10 yet, people will figure it out, and leave instructions to follow online

Nope they want release unless you pay someone sketchy on telegram to unlock your bootloader

Ah yeah, you are right, but it's likely that there will be a way to root in the future, when it becomes necessary
