How do I find a smartphone with the specifications I really want?

Product search tools help you find a phone, PC or camera if you know the specs you want

My Samsung S8 has given up the ghost, and the prohibitive cost of repair means I'm in the market for a new mobile phone. I've come up with a wishlist of specifications. Are there any phones due in the coming months that offer all of these? I don't believe anything currently on the market does. Declan

There are four obvious problems with having a list of specifications for the device you want to buy, whether it's a smartphone, tablet, laptop, digital camera or whatever. The first and biggest problem is that it can easily eliminate most of the products on the market or, in your case, all of them. In fact, it's a problem I share: nobody offers a laptop that meets my most-desired specification, though a few come close.
