Budget phones are joining in on the high refresh rate wagon and Oppo has launched a couple of budget high refresh rate phones too. A new addition to this list is the Oppo A53s. It was launched on October 12, 2020. It is not a high-end phone by any means. It is for people looking for a high refresh rate phone on a budget.
These days Android device users are prone to gain full control over the device subsystem to customize look & performance. If you’re one of the Oppo A53s users then you may be wondering whether you can unlock the bootloader, root, or install the custom ROM on Oppo A53s.
Well, due to the open-source nature of Android OS, and its wide range of customizability options, it’ll quite easy for both developers & advanced users to unlock the device bootloader, flash custom recovery, flash custom firmware apart from rooting or flashing modules, etc. There are plenty of tools available in the market for MTK devices that can also do the job for you but there are specific limitations too.
