    Important factores for me: 1. Performance(i play sometimes but i'm not a pro gamer. smooth daily usage for about 3 years is more important for me) 2. Battery 3.camera

    Thank you

      If I may be allowed to ask a question, it is this.
      GSMArena used to post good samples of Panorama photographs these phones all make, but no longer.
      Can we have them back Please? Can we also be told their maximum possible size in pixels, and whether they can be made or not with the superwide cameras as well as the "standard" main lens.
      Nowhere can I find such information which we should all have since, me, I can get Sweep Pans 5000+ pixels in height from a 2015 LG G4, but I cannot find a replacement with a wider angle of view.
      Nobody can, because even the manufacturers themselves do not say....and these are supposed to be communication devices!

        What about a list for Dual SIM Phones?

                    Google is the worsed things about android I really boycott Google apple & Microsoft for bad business practices they will be punished and I just buy from other brands and use other services as way of punishment form me there blacklisted bad company's business that can't be trusted

                    The only way there going too learn there lesson is if buyer tech them a lesson with there spending habits

                      It's important there is a difference between them
                      The reason I am being up the problems is because of the problems of support

                      For desktop windows it's a nightmare as explained with programs going wrong as doe too the problems of longevity Microsoft being as difficult as possible making life harder for everyone just trying use the platform

                      As you did being up the mobile version of Windows yes support for this version of mobile windows OS be ideal as well it was very unfortunate Microsoft ended support for the mobile version of Windows as well there are still people who use windows mobile however poor app store support is the main problem for them it's a small market but I still think it's wrong too not allow people too keep using windows mobile phone it's the personal choice what platform someone uses for themselves

                      From looking online it turns out it's even possible use a Windows mobile emulator in order too run Windows mobile apps on desktop windows OS as a virtual windows mobile phone

They stop getting into the mobile platform on their Windows 8.1 phones. In the last 5 years at least - Smartphones have Google Android OS running on smartphones.

                          no need for modern software at all it's trash over the years software has often worse why do you think many people company's business choice use older windows or android versions

                          It's just over the years people are given less choice is the problem am all for custom driver for software too be functional performance with whatever hardware meets the requirements I need however I relay on old software because of compatibly needs for games

                          It's just very frustrating for any company have pay money for extended support for legacy windows OS need's for programs too function as intended version like windows 7 windows xp or even windows vista are still fine usability wise be around for a lot longer if the west won't support it am sure China or Russia will

                          This is just a technical issue however it's a nightmare for me as it's completely unreasonable that Microsoft don't support windows 7 forever

                            For Windows Kaspersky internet security it's best make a bypass in the firewall for the internet security too be stronger and run as administrator program
                            Also change default browser too something then internet explorer or Microsoft edge
                            For example palemoon browser yandex browser opera gx browser mypal browser Firefox badiu or 360 extreme browser or badiu browser or any alternative browser

                            Also custom imagine of Microsoft OEM keys are often the best as they add additional features and functionality too the software and better tools
                            Chinese OEM keys might be good as well for not having the Microsoft problems in windows OS in general

                            Brute force internet security & internet connection is best in general as it doesn't allow cyber criminals too hack into system specific weakness or use zero day attacks another tip is have off line back-up SSD drive for os image installation and restore points

                            A big fault of Microsoft is lack of factory restore so it be best have third party factory restore designed without backdoors built-in and self repair built In as well most likely this Is possibly in the future am sura lot of companies are considering offering this as a opinion a lot of computer shops do stuff like this

                                Just pay for monthly premium interest security and and internet security from a phone carrier
                                No need for updates at all

                                If Kaspersky added support for legacy os ever old phone have new life in them regardless of os version and most likely there will be a market for it

                                This way Every old phone last almost forever and I know there is a lot of people who refuse update too a new phone for some reason or another

                                There is no reason why for lack of longevity other then selfish western standards telling you your old phone is trash just because it's old I can't see why paying a monthly subscription won't make sense

                                Even most brands have this in the back of there mind if you just pay money for your own custom software updates monthly or just pay a phone shop for modified software old phone just fine usability is good

These smartphones have operating systems that like any other OS are susceptible to software hacks and attacks. I rest my case.

                                      Sustainable & Modular smartphones is what I like custom driver's consumer choice
                                      It be best if people can choice what currency payment they want as I think online payment should be functional platform of the user choice of online bank apps and money making apps

                                      Focus on technical side of the way technology works it should be possible choice the internet security program of the users choice and have a multipoller world for the future of technology

                                      I do hope the standards for safety regulations get improvements made too them as well around battery's and changing

                                      I support epic games opinions expressed that apple & Google can't be monopoly in the app store market

                                      I also think built-in backdoors are a problem with smartphones in general

                                      It's possible for smartphones designers build smartphones with built-in money apps & banking apps possibly choice yuan & ruble could be possible with there own independent BRIC system for reserved currency exchange and payment standards and price fix for set price this way there is a dual reserved currency system for the purpose of consumer choice
                                      The customer is always right

                                        I think the idea of support is overrated holds little too no value at all if a smartphone is still supported or not
