When we think of the perfect Android mobile, we should not necessarily think of the most expensive and advanced terminal on the market, but of that phone that offers us the perfect balance between performance and price. A mobile that is not of the latest generation, but that is not outdated either. In AnTuTu they have asked for the ideal specifications of the perfect mobile.
The performance test usually asks users about the preferred characteristics to talk about the perfect mobile , within the most important areas of every terminal. And the result is something like the X-ray of the perfect phone, at least during the third quarter of 2021 , since as you know, these specifications can be very different from one quarter to another.
The ideal display
This is one of the key aspects of every phone, and in this aspect from the performance test they have obtained the characteristics of what would be the perfect screen configuration. When it comes to resolution, Full HD is preferred by users, followed at a long distance by what we know as QHD or 2K. Interestingly, one of the most common resolutions, such as HD, is one of the least popular.
And if we focus on the screen size, there is a size preferred by users, this is 6.6 inches , closely followed by 6.7 inches and 6.4 inches in this order. Another important aspect of the screen is the refresh rate, a category in which both the 60Hz and 120Hz rates are practically equally popular, a rather contradictory data, the third resolution in contention is 90Hz. Surely many still choose those 60Hz to avoid higher power consumption.
And performance?
In this section, the preferences of the users are also clear, which are not necessarily reflected in the market shares of processor sales. And it is that despite the fact that MediaTek is already the manufacturer that sells more processors, users prefer to have one from Qualcomm in 61.8% of cases, for only 19.1% who prefer a MediaTek processor. So it seems that the choice of the latter manufacturer is rather conditioned by the price of the equipment.
Regarding the number of cores, the choice is already overwhelming in favor of the 8 cores, which 99.1% of users choose. Regarding RAM, the preferred choice is 8GB , which seems to be already a standard compared to 6GB, which only have 16.6% support. The second preference in this sense is 12GB, with 26.6% of users who would prefer to have it. Internal storage is another highlight, and here the preferred capacity is 256GB , closely followed by 128GB.
Third, and far from the previous two, are users who settle for 64GB of internal storage. AnTuTu has not given any data about how many users have participated in this interesting survey, nor if you have Android or iOS mobiles, and in which countries they live. However, they are data that seem quite consistent with what we understand today by a well-prepared mobile, but which does not have the most advanced specifications, perhaps the X-ray of the perfect mid-range mobile.
