Good news for third-party developers as Realme has now officially made the Realme 6 Pro Android 10 bootloader unlock guide available.
However, one important thing that Realme 6 Pro users willing to unlock their device’s bootloader should keep in mind is that after unlocking, Widevine L1 will be replaced by Widevine L3. This ultimately means that you won’t be able to stream HD content on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc.
