Does Mediatek have unlocked bootloader? I heard that mediatek is close-source so i think that would be impossible to unlock the bootloader. But then i saw a comment in the website mtkroms.com saying that all mediatek bootloader are unlocked except the Android One phone. Which one should i believe?

I don't fully understand the process of unlocking a bootloader on a phone, but what makes a Samsung phone so difficult to unlock? For instance could we unlock this phone using the same method as went use on other phone with a Snapdragon 835 processor?

It's not difficult to unlock, it's impossible to unlock. The team of guys who achieved root access on an SD835 S8 used a root exploit to get root on the phone, the bootloader is still locked and they won't be able to flash anything that isn't signed by Samsung.
As for your second question, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Each OEM has a different way of unlocking their devices bootloaders.
Sony and HTC email you an unlock code after you submit your IMEI for bootloader unlocking, only with that code you can unlock your device.
Samsung phones (on applicable devices like Exynos ones), simply have a switch in developer options for OEM Unlock, just like Google's Pixel and Nexus devices, once that option is enabled, consider the bootloader 'unlocked', and you should be able to flash whatever you want, regardless of whether it's signed by Samsung or developed by some guy in his moms basement.
TL;DR:
No.

If you're using a phone with an unlocked boot loader could you in theory switch between operating systems? For instance could I flash a rom to run Lollipop on one slot and on another slot run Nougat?

Most phones don't have 'slots'. It's not a common thing yet.
The Google Pixel and Moto Z2 are the only ones that come to mind that have A/B partitions for seamless OS updates and in theory (on a Pixel), one should be able to flash Nougat on Slot A and Android O on Slot B, however I wouldn't recommend it at all, I always like having the same sh*t on both slots.
Also, Lollipop and Nougat are too far apart and there is no device in existence that has its OEM ROM based on LP and N. So no you wouldn't be able to.
Hello everyone, I just purchased this phone few days ago, this phone was released around 5-6 months ago and yet there's no root guide for this. It's possible to unlock the bootloader via OEM unlocking in developer options, but it might brick if installing with Magisk directly without TWRP (I can access stock recovery just fine)... probably same for Kingo and KingRoot
If anyone can make a guide for this would gladly appreciate it, thanks
This phone is based on Unisoc chipset, running Android 10.
Hence the 2 mentioned One-Click-Root apps can't be used.

Hi! I have found this article in this forum... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/2020-and-2019-zte-blade-impossible-to-root.4131135/
It seems that Unisoc Speadtrum chipsets are all impossible to root, just like my Itel A33, better stick with Mediatek chipset phones if you want to obtain root, but also newer MediaTek chipsets like; Helio G90T, Helio P22 etc... these chipsets are impossible to root, unless the device manufacturer is an open firmware company like Xiaomi, Infinix...Tecno is a bit not open firmware tho, because I cant find any firmware for newer released devices like Tecno Spark 8P...
Better not download files from malicious websites, here in XDA forums, I trust the most hehe
