        So everyone is going to forget the fact that the Sony Xperia 1 VI absolutely destroyed every single other phone in battery life, yet they keep the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the poster boy for battery life? Don't get me wrong, the Sony might not be an overall better phone, but when it comes to battery, it's by far the best one on average consumer phones (not including the rugged phones).

              is there any statistics based on that, about what feature combinations are most appealing for users?
              and what combinations not to produce...
              (as feedback to manufacturers)

                        I cant't belive you threw out the Redmi note 13 Pro Plus. It's an overall fabulous phone, very welll balanced, fast charge, great display ecc ecc. And it's found now at very interesting prices. No contest wit the mediocre motorola you put in the guide

Or that the specs are actually close to what the manufacturers say? Or make a conference call? Or the outside noise making the video recordings meh?
                              Call it the stabile ratings, not mobile. Or maybe the closed brain cell ratings.
                              Oh, I'm not complaining. I'm not watching 'em.

                                    I and my friends asked them dozens of times to implement an option to select all Snapdragon chips in the phone finder area.

                                    It took them more than 5 years to implement that feature without even replying back to us, basically ignoring us.

                                    Do you think we will see an option to select 'flat screens only' and 'ultrasonic fingerprint scanners only' during this decade?
