He’s a recommendation:
1. A Google Pixel device (e.g. Pixel 9 Pro)
2. A Flagship/High end Samsung Galaxy device (S-series)
3. A Mid/Low end Samsung Galaxy device (A-Series)
4. A Xiaomi device
5. An Android device without Google Play Servies (Huawei or Amazon Fire)
Reasons:
1. Google Pixel devices provide a “clean” Android experience, have the latest features, latest beta’s.
2. Most users have a Samsung
3. Most users have a Samsung
4. Xiaomi is the second largest OEM after Samsung in Marketshare
5. Your app should also work without Google Play Services; Think of users with custom roms (F-Droid), or Huawei, Amazon Fire devices.
