I love how this articles doesn't even discuss phone size and headphone jacks, which are my 2 prerequisites before I even consider a phone.

I'm convinced that tech reviewers live on a different planet than us. They're always fretting over trivial things that would be nice to have but far from dealbreakers for the average person and then ignore or barely mention the stuff a regular user would need

People talking about phones on Lemmy don't represent the average user though. Most people just don't care about headphone jacks, SD cards, etc. These complaints are made nearly exclusively by enthusiasts who don't make up enough of the potential sales to be pandered to.

I'm not saying it's wrong to complain btw.

It absolutely discusses phone size - in some detail both in the intro and as part of the reviews.

Yeah. Unfortunately there's not much to chose from. They're all huge glass slabs without ports nowadays.
