If you won’t feel bad of losing Warranty then you should Root your Android Device to enjoy all Admin privileges. My advice is to wait till the Warranty is over then rooting Android Device Because know one knows what will happen the next day and Company will not take any action once your device is Rooted since their privileges would be controlled by You. If something Breaks or some functions are not working then you have to pay full price for repair.
