LOW- AND MID-TIER MOBILE FOR THE REAL WORLD

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

It can be good to use real-world low- and mid-tier mobile devices for web performance testing in 2025, rather than relying solely on Chrome DevTools' emulated settings. This dev recommends the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G ($199) for low-tier testing and the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G ($450) for mid-tier testing, based on their global market penetration, representative hardware capabilities, long software support, and reasonable pricing.
