Easily Unlock Bootloader on your Realme 3

Here I am with a fresh guide for Realme 3 users. Realme 3 is the newly launched device by Realme. It has some great specs and a modest price, so I know why you’ve made it yours too. This phone comes with a 6.22 Inches IPS LCD Display which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and it is powered by the MediaTek Helio P60 which is an Octa-Core CPU.

I may also add to the list the dual rear-facing camera of 13 MP + 2 MP, while the front-facing camera is a quite decent 13 MP shooter. And since you always want more out of your handsets, I am sure that this tutorial is perfect for you.

Today I will demonstrate how to unlock the bootloader on the Realme 3 smartphone. By doing so, you can later install TWRP Recovery, Custom ROM and root the device. Don’t worry, you aren’t the only one in this position. The truth is that many manufacturers provide smartphones with a locked bootloader.

As a result, you basically need to unlock it before proceeding. In other words, unlocking the bootloader is the first step before you may further customize the smartphone you own.
