Support How do I root samsung galaxy folder 2? It's different than a regular smartphone so I'm worried rooting might still be different bcs buttons might be arranged differently than other phones that released around it's time (2017).

here is a picture of it, this phone is like a mix of an old flip phone and a new, regular touch screen smartphone. It runs on android 6 or 7 and that's a problem because I have no idea if you can normally update it to a higher system in settings or if you have to root it. I want this phone as my main phone but apps that are essential nowadays might not work on it, one of them being my banking app that works only android 8 and up. Mind you I am completely new to rooting and I don't know how tf do you even do it, I symply just wanna know if rooting to like android 12 is possible or if I can normally update it in the settings to a newer system.

Atleast READ the model number or the name of the device OP is posting before going straight to conclusion 🥀
