If you root the Huawei Express, you get a mobile WiFi hotspot for free. That’s just one of the advantages to rooting the device. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about losing the apps you have purchased from the Google Play Store.

All of those apps will remain on your device. Additionally, Google Play remembers what you have purchased and your account is completely separate to your device.
