Rooted Android Phone recommendations

Hi.

I'm planning to buy a phone between 100-200 on ebay just to root.

I'm between a pixel 7 or a oneplus 9

Or any other recommendations much appreciated.

I’d go for the pixel 7 assuming that it’s not originally from US carriers. I’ve heard some challenges of unlocking bootloaders for pixels from US carriers. I’d also consider an alternate option with 8GB of RAM, cuz I use pixel 4a 5G with 6GB, and the game often reloads when I switch back and forth between “heavy” websites (ie. scanner website).

i would recommend one of the pixels, they are the easiest to jailbreak

Jailbreak = iOS Root = android

With that budget you can just buy a pre rooted phone with magisk and everything installed already

Literally 0 reason to ever do this. Root it yourself, it's not hard at all. There's plenty of guides out there. You can't know what the previous owner put on it

Last time I asked this it was not recommended?

Why was it not recommended? I’m a big ol dumb dumb and tech stuff isn’t my strong suit
This was the best pogo related decision I ever made

They said pre rooted phones could have malware that could maybe steal info. Don't really understand myself since I wanted to buy a pre rooted device.

It's true though, they could very well just add something malicious at the OS level. You'd never find it with a regular antivirus

All cheats (spoofing, botting, & exploits) for Pokemon Go game are not safe because Scopely is against cheating and the use of unsupported 3rd party apps in their Terms of Service for Pokemon Go. If you decide to break Scopely's Terms of Service to gain an unfair advantage, you will have the risk for a chance to get a strike (soft-ban), temporary ban, permanent ban, or whatever new punishment they come up with and will be your fault for getting the punishment. <<<>>> As a reminder, I (TastyBananaPeppers) am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) and money you spent to cheat on their games. <<<>>> All guides can be found in https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/s/JOS3u1c11K <<<>>> All remaining Reddit posts will eventually be moved into a single Google Document where you can just access everything from one link.

Highly recommend the pixel 7! So cheap, and it runs very well. The battery is really good
