There are many ways and tools to choose your next device, but some are better than others. How do you do it?

I'll begin - I tend to use Kimovil, however it lacks pricing for many devices and thus makes the process harder. Has many filters though, from headphone jack to different 5G and 4G bands.

GSMARENA Phone Finder is pretty amazing. You can filter by basically any phone characteristic you want. Back material? Yep. Refresh rate? Also yes. Proximity sensor? You got it. Minimum wired charging wattage? Sure, why not.

I've yet to find a more comprehensive one.

Edit: taking a look at Kimovil. It seems like it has much of the same filters as Phone Finder, but with the bonus of also showing price, which is nice.

For the most part it's good, but filtering by price pretty much just doesn't work

Yeah, prices vary between markets, but relative pricing tends to be the same

My only gripe is I can't filter by SoC type, like Snapdragon only for example, otherwise it's a cool thing to have, but yeah, kimovil shows regional pricing
