Wait, the $15 2K model you bought yesterday can be rooted? I figured anything made in the last few years would've been patched.
Can you tell me the exact model (the code on the box, like this, as explained in this XDA thread about the model I got where I experienced disappointment), and where you found the information about rooting it?
I appreciate that you're happy with yours even without rooting, but I don't think I'd be able to trust it not to enshittify in the long run on the stock firmware.
