      I’d like two Android recommendations: 1) the absolute high end (something I can test what the best experience would be like), and 2) the common case - something I should consider the practical “low end” to be for testing purposes.

      High end right now is either Pixel 2 or Samsung Galaxy S9. But I'd recommend Pixel if you want the best UX.

      The @essential is a fantastic device - same specs as last year's top phones, but nicer handfeel and way cheaper. It's a perfect high-end tester.

      For something more reflective of common devices in emerging markets, I'd look to @taloppenheimer or @slightlylate. Last I looked, the target was as little ram as possible (512-1gb) & a low res screen. I got the cheapest phone I could find traveling; not sure what's for sale here.

      Looks like Asus and Alcatel both sell 1GB Android Go phones in the US: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/8/6/17656792/asus-zenfone-live-l1-android-go-us-release … https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/5/31/17409908/alcatel-1x-android-go-us-launch … The Alcatel has a crappier screen, so I'd go with that.

      +1. The Alcatel is the real deal.

      It would be interesting to have a live public dashboard (ala the Chrome UX report) that rolls up available memory, screen size, and maybe primary core speed. Have an easy, timely place to point (not a conference talk deck) to says "see how bad most devices still are?!"

      Or perhaps more helpfully "if you have a globally public website, 20% of your users are in this network/device quality bucket; 15% are in this one. That means your site takes this long to be useful."

      Hrmm...I suspect we could collect this data via CrUX Report; might already? @rick_viscomi will know.

          Not something we're currently exploring for CrUX. You may be able to find stats for some of these metrics at http://gs.statcounter.com/  and similar sites. Keep in mind that CrUX is only measured from Chrome, so it's not a global measurement from any and all browsers. Some bias.

          It would underreport low-end hardware vis-a-vis UC Browser et. al., but it would still shed light on the magnitude of the problem. I see screen resolution on that report you linked, but unfortunately not anything about performance (e.g. available RAM or CPU) or devicePixelRatio.
