For choosing the right product based on a list of spec requirements I can highly recommend the price comparison website Geizhals [1]. They offer an insane amount of filter options over a wide category of products. Want USB C hub with Power Delivery, Gigabit LAN, a card reader and at least 2 display options? Here are your options: [2]. Also works for Mainboards, TVs and a whole lot of other stuff [1] https://geizhals.eu/?cat=nbdock https://geizhals.eu/?cat=nbdock [2] https://geizhals.eu/?cat=nbdock&xf=5206_2%7E5207_DisplayPort%7E5208_Gb+LAN%7E5211_Cardreader%7E5211_USB-C+Power+Delivery%7E5860_USB-C+3.0 https://geizhals.eu/?cat=nbdock&xf=5206_2%7E5207_DisplayPort...

    How can you reduce phones to a single checkbox that says whether they're "intuitive" or not?

      it lets people say 'i want an iphone' while still feeling reasonable
      - jshevek 7y ago
        OnePlus, LG, and Xiaomi are all included under 'intuitive'. (Though Samsung appears to not be?)
        anoncareer0212 7y ago
        Ugh, I feel awful snarking now - that is strange to me, I could see OnePlus and Xiaomi, but LG and not Samsung is a headscratcher... and honestly, if you include all those, it seems like a "has top 5 marketshare except Huawei" checkbox...maybe that's a good thing? Anyways, enough rambling, thanks for sharing :)

      I reduce iPhone and stock Android to "intuitive", since it's the #1 criteria for most tech-savy users.
      - ghostpepper 7y ago
        Intuitive is a very personal term, in the sense that everyone has their own definition of what is intuitive and what may be intuitive for me may not be intuitive for you. A better label for that category might be "No third party software"?

    In the camera section, what does "tropicalise" filter?
    - arnaudsm 7y ago
      It's a common denomination for environmental seal. Similar to IP67.
      - markdown 7y ago
        Ahh, ok. Thanks, that makes sense.

    I'd suggest adding a removable battery filter to the phones. You already have jack port and micro SD, good.

Seems like a great website for EU, does anyone know of something similarly detail oriented for US-based consumers?

  I‘d imagine that you could do price comparisons elsewhere once you have found the product meeting your requirements. And finding that product is where Geizhals actually shines due to their incredible attribute normalization and filtering options, which should be useful even for non-european users. Price comparison is just an additional bonus.
