What tools do you use to choose a new phone?

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.

I check for LineageOS support, repairability (kind of pointless nowdays), a headphone jack and a SD card slot and end up buying something that just supports LineageOS because apparently I am asking too much of a modern phone... :(

I'm kinda doing the same thing, expect I'm still waiting for a phone that does all of it. The problem is that my old device is usually more powerful than the current offerings, so I guess I'll wait. No hurry anyways.

I already have one without a SD card slot and lacking repairability and the reward is a dying battery and no easy way to repair or back up anything, can't recommend!
