The 'purest' of mobile phones
Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2023 7:45 pm
Yeah, let's talk about smartphones! 
As the market is almost completely international, even poor people are using mobile phones today, and finally SpiderBasic should be able to compile into mobile apps, the ultimate question is: What type of phones do you prefer to use?
SpiderBasic is supporting Android and iOS, the later i've never used. Android does fairly better than Windows Mobile ever did and besides, i prefer cheaper and more light-weight phones. During the last 5 years the average of device weight has reached the 200 gramms and screen sizes climbed to almost unhandy 6+ inches. Concerning the risk of damage, a 5 inch phones was way easier to handle in tricky situations.
My perfect phone should have a 5.2 inch 18:9 (2:1) screen with a dot notch, it should not be heavier than 160g and stable to the max, not wider than 72mm and flatter then 8.5mm. I often check with the database of kimovil.com to filter out such phones but it is very hard to find modells that even come close to these measures. And did i mention it should have NFC onboard?
Remembering the old days of the smartphone boom, the iPhone SE (2020/2022) is propably the form factor i most likely look out for. However, a 4.7 inch screen might appear a little small and i'm not tied to the iOS expenses neither, so let's stick with Android. Low-weight Android phones nowadays: That's Google Pixel. Unfortunately with several hundred dollars ever so expensive, almost as unsteal as Apple. Nokia does some smaller variants, Samsung launched the heavier S... series and even cheap Xiaomi knows some more handeable phones like Mi9SE, but the list ain't very long and those devices are soon about to be outdated.
(Any advice for me?
)
So i'm using a combination of Samsung J-series (for outdoor usage) and Xiaomi A2 lite (in-room). What's missing? NFC!
What phones do you prefer, and why?
