Hello. I recently bought a Tecno Spark 20 pro. 8Go (+8Go expendable) 256Go storage. 5000mah battery, SD card, with a MTK chipset (MT6789 G99) very satisfied with my purchase. No custom rom development on it yet, but the OS is decent and you can easily debloat it. If you don’t want a Chinese brand, i think there’s the Samsung Galaxy A15 4G with this chipset.

cause i need a locked Bootloader or otherweise WhatsApp (which i unfortunately need) wont work, but coming from a rooted rom, unrooted android is unbearable> You can keep your bootloader unlocked and rooted and still get WA to work.

I have PIF and LSposed installed with denylist active for WA, Gplay and GplayServices. It’s working.
