S10 vs S10+, Dual Sim vs F

Bought a P30 lite a few months ago as a replacement for HTC U11+ that I destroyed, and I hate it since I'm missing root. Decided to go back to Samsung.
Looking for a device that I can (1) root and unlock bootloader easily, (2) install TWRP and hopefully (3) enjoy vibrant modding support with linage OS like roms for a few years, like I did with the Note 3.
The question:
Is there any difference between S10 and S10 plus in this context?
And is there a difference between the F models and the F/DS models? Can I still get all of that with the dual-sim models, or are they "neglected" in any way?
Thanks!

Only the exynos variants of theS10 and S10+ can obtain root and unlock the bootloader.
Now to answer your questions:
1. There's no difference that I know of between the S10 and 10 plus, then again I am in the U.S.
2. The different models have to do with the region you are in. For example U and U1 are U.S. variants.
3. Dual sim model should be able to get root if it's an exynos.

Looking to purchase ROG Phone II Tencent Edition

Hello, I currently own an Samsung Galaxy S9 (T-Mobile US) and I am looking to switch to the ROG Phone II in the future as I have noticed that my S9's data is being sent to China whenever I use the Device Care app. I have some questions regarding the Tencent Edition. I have questions regarding the Tencent Edition model.
1) Is the ROG Kunai Gamepad compatible with the Tencent Edition? What about the other accessories for the Elite Edition?
2) Can I use the Tencent Edition (w/ Worldwide ROM) with a T-Mobile US nanoSIM inserted?
3) Does the Tencent Edition contain the same enhancements for the compatible games from Elite Edition (aside from 120Hz)?
4) Does the Tencent Edition have microSD slot? If so, what is the max storage?
1) All accessories should work, all the ports are there
2) yes, I am using TMobile. No band 66. Use at your own risk. VoLTE works but you have to root at first to do it.
3) Software should be the same, but I have nothing to compare it with.
4) no SD slot.
GET the EU Srix Version. It has the global ROM with OTA update, the areo case and the cooler and is about $550 on aliexpress

Beware: That supposed "international" version is the tencent version, so it's missing a bunch of LTE bands, and most likely it will be flashed with the WW firmware without having changed the fingerprint - this will cause issues with Play store certification etc.
Note that there are only two region variants of the rog 2; international and Chinese/tencent. There is no US-specific version.

ROG 2 ZS660KL-I001DE support for B20 LTE

When I looking for Asus ROG 2 Phone in EU (with 128GB) I only find the ZS660KL-​1A050EU. This version of the ROG 2 don't support FDD-LTE B20 aka 800MHz which means it is useless and you need to go for the 512GB version.
Now they sell in Germany a new 128GB version I001DE. I can not find any information about this version but it looks like this version support 800MHz LTE.
If someone got this version, can u confirm this?

Question 5g on an indian model pixel 7

So I'll be moving to Australia in a month, and since Google still hasn't enabled the 5G option for Pixel 7s purchased in india, is there some easy way without root for me to enable it or will i be able to use 5g if i use an australian sim?
It's enabled on my pixel 7. I bought it from Flipkart last September.. it came with 5g out of the box...
But i don't think using an Australian sim will do any good.. coz its region specific device and updates they are pushing.
I think pixel 7s bought in India alone need an ota update to enable 5g, is there a simple workaround for me to not just wait for that
