What More?
In my opinion, you don’t need to root for your Realme 7 Pro Android 10 version. If you thought you could Improve Performance By Root; With the Qualcomm SM7125 Snapdragon 720G Octa-Core processor and 6/8 GB RAM, your device can perform well. If you don’t know how much RAM you need, You will never use this much RAM. It would help if you did not Boot into Normal OS Booting by pressing the power button after firmware flash. It will boot you to a Non-Rooted environment. So, you should pay attention to the first recovery boot step.
If you root your device because of the battery drain issues, you can optimize your battery without root. Beyond this, if your purpose is to Disable Bloatware apps, you can do that without using this method. This method is not based on PBRP custom recovery. Thus you can’t install Custom ROMs. When you have any suggestions or doubts, comment below.

Can we add or enable hidden network bands by rooting the phone? I bought an Indian version which doesn’t work in the USA due to limited bands.
You can try the Prepaid version of Networks and Ask them to unlock the Network. Try Visible by Verizon.
Thanks, by network bands, I mean frequency bands. For example, my phone supports Indian LTE Bands 1, 3, 5, 8, 38, 40 & 41, which are of no use in the USA. Is there a way to enable or add other LTE bands such as 12, 15, or 17 by rooting the phone?.
Yes, There are some ways. But it is better to contact the operator and try to update some OTA or app support.
