Even a blonde can pick up a normal Android device (+ bonus: top of the most-most Android devices)
As last time , choosing the necessary device, I was faced with the fact that the search in all the variety that China offers is useless.
So, the search service for Android devices .
The service is designed for “blondes” (knowing that that box under the table is called “processor”); and geeks who can give a half-hour lecture on the topic: "How does processor A differ from processor B". Of course, the “white-collar workers" are also not forgotten. simple users (who know something about Android, but do not understand in detail neither the hardware nor the differences between versions of Android).
Search for geeks:
A bunch of parameters and values that are obscure to ordinary people, naturally 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 so far useless - because in the database products are only from sites with free delivery (the button will be relevant after adding sites like aliexpress.com).
For ordinary users, searching is a little easier.
There is no need to choose a processor model or the exact version of Android. You also don’t need to think: what is better than GPS or A-GPS, or to know the differences in Wifi versions (the main thing is that it is).
And of course, the search for "blondes"
A minimum of knowledge - a maximum of clues. For example, the “processor” property - filters by the number of cores (normal - 1 core, fast - 2 cores, very fast - 4), and after adding the processor frequency, it will also filter by it.
After pressing the “search” button, even a blonde will have access to an advanced search (though she will only have “slightly advanced”).
Naturally, on the page with the search results, you can change the type of user and disguise yourself as a blonde or a geek.
A bit of dry numbers, boring statistics and funny schedules.
Now in the database products from 4 sites:
- Dealextreme
- Focalprice
- Everbuying
- Pandawill
In total, more than 4,000 products were parsed (all these products are with free shipping).
On average, the product has 16 properties: processor, memory, size, wifi and more.
When plotting, we used the goods that were available. Those. current assortment.
Number of cores in tablets and phones
In 4x phones, nuclear scientists are just emerging.
Top 10 Processors
In phones
We see the dominance of processors from Mediatek.
Let's look at the tablets:
Well, at least some variety has drawn.
Processors - Cortex A9 and A8 - these are unknown processors, only architecture was indicated in the device descriptions.
RAM size
2 GB of memory is still very rare, or rather, even rarer than 4-core processors.
Android versions
I see 2 reasons why there are so many Android 2.x phones:
- Not all sold out yet
- Iron is weaker than in tablets, so OS versions are older.
Which of the reasons plays a greater role - I do not know.

Tablets
In a wonderful post about screen sizes, haberuzer AlexeyNadezhin created tablets with linear screen sizes and pixel resolutions. With his permission, I added these plates:
phones: tablets
:
The far right column - how often this permission is found in my database. In total, the diagonals and resolutions coincided in 2413 cases, so the sample should be representative.
Now let's look at the most unusual devices. Unusuality 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 on dx.com What can I say about him: a brick
- Android 2.3
- CPU: MSM8260
- RAM: 1GB
- Screen Resolution: 800 x 480
- GPS, 2 cameras, WiFi 802.11b / g
- Dimensions: 12.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 1.0 cm
Well or here: OPPO Finder (X907) $ 399.99 on PandaWill In my opinion, it looks much more interesting from the outside, inside:
- Android 4.0
- CPU: Qualcomm MSM8260, 2 cores at 1.5 GHz
- RAM: 1Gb
- Screen Resolution: 800 x 480
- GPS, 2 cameras, WiFi 802.11b / g

Expensive, high-resolution screen, even slightly dustproof, moisture-proof, IP54
Haier W910 $ 323.99 on PandaWill

- GPS, 2 cameras, WiFi 802.11b / g
- Dimensions: 133.4 x 69.8 x 9.9mm
IMHO the main chip is not on the screen (and it is clearly not bad!), But in dust and water protection, even if not IP67, but nonetheless:
True, it is not known how long these latches will live.
Let's look for something more simple.
V5 Shockproof for only $ 96.99 on PandaWill
- Android 2.3.5
- CPU: Spreadtrum SC8810, 1.0GHz, CortexA5
- RAM: 256
- Screen: 480 x 320

Toli phone, Toli tablet - 7 ”
Apparently he can call. Also, a TV tuner is built-in. $ 254.4 on dx.com
- Android 2.3
- CPU: MTK6573
- RAM: 512
- Screen: 800 x 480, diagonal of 7 inches
You can probably call from this thing, the video will be cooler than in the case of Nokia N-gage.
It is interesting that such a device is not alone, there is one more thing , for example, the P5100 Unlike the previous one, this one
- Android 4.0
- CPU: MTK6577
- RAM: 512
- Non-standard resolution screen 600 x 952
The smallest phone.
Z1 watches In terms of iron, they are rather weak, but what did you want from these dimensions:
- Android 2.2
- CPU: MTK6516
- RAM: 256
- 320 x 240 diagonal 2 ”screen
The thickest phone
G11
- Android 2.3.6
- CPU: MTK6513
- RAM: 256
- Screen: 480 x 800
- Thickness: 18mm.
The thickness is apparently explained by the capacity of the battery, which, judging by the photograph, has a capacity of 2600 mAh
Let's look for something more capacious.
The most capacious 3800 mAh battery in the STAR N7000
- Android 4.0
- CPU: MTK6575 1GHz
- RAM: 512
- Screen: 800 x 480, 5.3 "

4x nuclear processors
They put phones on, but very rarely, so we'll look for the cheapest with 2 cores, it's some kind of noname for $ 132.69
- Android 4.0
- CPU: MTK6577 1.2GHz
- RAM: 1GB
- Screen: 800x480, 4.0 "
Quite unusual

- Android 4.0.4
- CPU: Allwinner A10
- RAM: 512
- Screen: 800x480.5 ”
Now let's pay attention to the tablets
The "best" marketing ploy.
3mm thick.
- Android 4.0.3
- CPU: A13
- RAM: 512
- Screen: 800x480, 7 "
The cheapest tablet with Retina screen

- Android 4.1.1
- CPU: All Winner A31, 4 cores at 1.5 GHz
- RAM: 2Gb
- Screen 2048 x 1536 (9.7 ")
Often the weight of the tablet is important: Ramos W28 - the price is only 109.99, weight 280g.
- Android 4.0.3
- CPU: Amlogic 8726-MX, 1.5 GHz, 2 cores
- RAM: 1Gb
- Screen: 1280 x 800 (7 ”)
- Weight: 280g
Total
There is a service and it works, this is certainly not a “release”, but rather a public “beta” version, nevertheless, you can already use it.
The base will gradually be replenished with other sites. I am mentally preparing to parse aliexpress.com with its tens of thousands of offers. In reality, in the near future they will add:
- Tinydeal (when he wakes up, there is apparently no one to fix it on holidays)
- Buyincoins
- Lightake
- ahappydeal
The number of criteria by which you can search is about 15, and this number is constantly growing, in general, we deepen and deepen the search.

UPDATE: After the publication of this post, I was banned due to the fact that I did not specify the "I am PR" hub. As a result, the topic was unavailable. Realized the blame. As an apology, I wrote a topic in the sandbox about parsing sites-stores thanks to which I am again on Habré.
I apologize to everyone who caused any inconvenience.
