I can’t root my phone because I don’t have an image for it (Moto G73) although I’d like to, but for some reason my banking app thinks it’s rooted and refuses to work. This happened just after I updated it, it wasn’t happening before.

Edit: I’m regretting not getting the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which also costs £250, but is slightly better in multiple ways, and seems like it has better root support.

    Root so you can hide it?

    Seriously though, that might actually work.

    Either way, shit like this is why DRM is stupid.

      If might work if I could work out how to root it. I can’t find a stock image for my device to patch with magisk. Just out of interest, I wonder if there’s one available for the edge 40 Neo, if I had got that. I don’t have it, but if it supports root, I just might see if I can trade in my phone.

        I haven’t kept up with the rooting scene but if you want to get into that and are on a budget, a used Pixel might just be the ticket: They’re very root friendly and well documented. Good luck!

          The thing is, I need the device to support a micro SD card and have decent specs (8GB/256GB/120hz/5Ah) more than I need to be able to root it, but if I can get both I’d be very happy.

            Sony Xperia has some nice stuff that might fit those requirements, pretty sure Moto makes at least once phone that meets those specs too but I can’t recall the name off hand. Someone was just telling me about it last week and it was made in 2023. I’ll let you know if I can remember the name of it.

                Might be the Moto G Stylus I was thinking of, but even if it’s not, that looks like it might fit what you’re looking for
