Even the blonde will be able to pick up a normal Android device (+ bonus: the top most-most Android devices)



Like last time , choosing the necessary device, I was faced with the fact that the search for all the diversity that China offers is useless.
So, the Android device search service .
The service is designed as a “blonde” (knowing that the box under the table is called a “processor”); so on geeks who are able to give a half-hour lecture on the topic: “how does processor A differ from processor B”. Of course, white-collar workers are not forgotten either, i.e. ordinary users (who know something about Android, but do not understand in detail either in hardware or in differences between Android versions).

Search for geeks:



A bunch of parameters and values ​​that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, of course, these are not all the parameters by which you can search. The remaining parameters are available on the search page after clicking “Advanced search” (this simple user needs the Search button, and for geeks, only Advanced Search!).
The “Free shipping” check box is still useless - because, as in the database, goods are only from sites with free shipping (the button will be relevant after adding sites like aliexpress.com).

For ordinary users, the search is somewhat easier.



There is no need to choose a processor model or the exact version of Android. Just do not need to think: what is better than GPS or A-GPS, or know the differences in the versions of Wifi (the main thing that it was).
')

And of course, the search for "blondes"



Minimum knowledge - maximum tips. For example, the “processor” property - filters by the number of cores (normal - 1 core, fast - 2 cores, very fast - 4), and after adding the frequency of the processors, it will also filter on it.
After clicking the "search" button - even the blonde will have an advanced search available (although she will only have a slightly “extended” one).

Naturally on the search results page, you can change the type of user and disguise as a blonde or a geek.


A bit of dry numbers, boring statistics and funny graphs.


Now in the database products from 4 sites:

In total, more than 4,000 products have been sold (all of these products are with free shipping)
On average, the product has 16 properties: processor, memory, size, wifi, and more.
When constructing graphs used products that were available. Those. current assortment.

Number of cores in tablets and phones




In the phones 4x nuclear just appear.

Top 10 processors

In phones


We see the dominance of processors from Mediatek.

Let's look at the tablets:


Well, at least some sort of diversity.
The processors - Cortex A9 and A8 are unknown processors, only the architecture was indicated in the device descriptions.

RAM size



2 GB of memory is still very rare, more precisely, even more rare than 4-core processors.

Android versions



I see 2 reasons why there are so many Android 2.x phones:

Which of the reasons plays a big role - I do not know.

Screen diagonal

Telephones


Tablets


Screen resolution

Telephones


Tablets


In a wonderful post about screen sizes, AlexeyNadezhin habrauzer created labels with linear screen sizes and pixel resolutions. With his permission, I added these signs:
telephones:


tablets:


The rightmost column is how often this resolution occurs in my database. The total diagonal and resolution coincided in 2413 cases, so the sample should be representative.

And now we will look at the most unusual devices. Unusual will be determined by many different criteria.



The most expensive phone, if you do not take into account brands such as Samsung, HTC, etc.

Oppo X905 $ 422.6 at dx.com

What can I say about him: brick


Well, or here: OPPO Finder (X907) $ 399.99 at PandaWill


In my opinion outwardly looks much more interesting, inside:


Dear, good resolution screen, even slightly dustproof, IP54-protected

Haier W910 $ 323.99 at PandaWill




Imho the main thing is not in the screen (and it is clearly not bad!), But in dust and moisture protection, even if not IP67, but nevertheless:


True, it is not known how long these latches will live.

Look for something more.

V5 Shockproof for only $ 96.99 at PandaWill




Toli phone, toli tablet - 7 "

Call apparently can. Also the TV tuner is built-in. $ 254.4 on dx.com




With this thing, you can probably call, the video card will be cooler than in the case of the Nokia N-gage.

Interestingly, such a device is not alone, there is more, for example, P5100


Unlike the previous one, this


The "smallest" phone.

watch Z1


For iron, they are rather weak, but what do you want from such dimensions:


The thickest phone

G11



The thickness is apparently due to the capacity of the battery, which, judging by the photos, has a capacity of 2600 mAh

Let's look for something more capacious.


The most capacious 3800 mAh battery in the STAR N7000




4 core processors

In the phones they put, but very rarely, so we will look for the cheapest with 2 cores, this is some kind of noname for $ 132.69




Very unusual

Hero H600 with number buttons




Cover with zakosy under Windows Phone 7 Newman N1





Gaming consoles with PSP, type YinLips G19


Inside everything is decent and standard:


Now pay attention to the tablet



"Best" marketing ploy.

Thickness 3mm.




Cheapest Retina Tablet

Nextway F9X - $ 228.73




The tablet weight is often important: Ramos W28 - the price is only 109.99, weight is 280g.




Total


The service is there and it works, it’s certainly not a “release”, but rather a public “beta” version, however you can already use it.
The base will gradually be replenished with other sites. Morally I am preparing to parse aliexpress.com with its tens of thousands of sentences. In reality, in the near future will be added:

The number of criteria by which you can search for about 15, and this number is constantly growing, in general, the search deepens and deepens.

UPDATE: After the publication of this post I was banned due to the fact that I did not specify the hub "I am promoting". As a result, the topic was unavailable. I realized the blame. As an apology, I wrote a topic in the sandbox about parsing shopping sites, thanks to which I am again in Habré.
I apologize to all those who caused some inconvenience.
