But I wish we'd stop saying "memory" when we mean "storage" ... seeing "Memory" and "RAM" next to each other is a bit confusing, since they're the same thing.
If you have suggestions for more features, let me know. Also if you have suggestions which product category to chart next. Either here on HN or on my blog: http://www.gibney.de/the_smartphone_comparison_chart
I'm on the lookout for a replacement for my Lenovo X230, which I got specifically because it can take 16GB RAM and has a <13" screen. It would be very helpful if the RAM slider for laptops was max RAM that they can take rather than min RAM from factory.
Looks awesome!
I resigned myself to getting a new Nexus device since so few apps are coming out for Android 2.3 anymore, but then they came out with that 6" monster... I really have no idea what phone to upgrade to. Nobody makes a phone I want anymore.
It is an N900 chassis (inc keyboard) with a GTA04 motherboard plus some cool anti-spying features to isolate the LTE modem (which of course runs a proprietary OS).

Other than that, very cool. Where do you get your data from?
Edit: I should mention that I love my Moto X, especially with Android L - But the OnePlus One comes with Cyanogen, +1 GB of RAM, double the storage, much bigger battery, probably a better back camera, seemingly better screen/microphones, definitely better front camera... For almost $100 less. Ouch.
But the 4AH battery cannot be beat. I never worry about charging. If I'm tired when I go to bed, I just let my phone fall wherever. The only time it discharged was when I didn't charge it two nights in a row.
That kind of freedom of not constantly dealing with power, it's pretty great. Meanwhile, every other phone manufacturer focuses on getting through the day without charging, as if that's some amazing piece of usability.
It also shows how easy it is to make a fantastic phone. Put some parts together, and ship it. Huawei would have a top-class phone if they hadn't run their crap version of Android. And offer a separate model if you want a non-junk camera.
Let me give you an example, as I changed the filter of the RAM from 1GB to 2GB, the icon Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F 4G LTE 16GB jumped over the icon for Samsung Galaxy S5 G900FD DUOS 4G LTE even though their specs exactly the same. When I saw that, I concluded that their screen sizes changed due to memory configuration as the x-axis of the graph is screen size. Yeah, I know it is a bad conclusion, but that what the graph says.
edit: I suggested customisable axes, but I was on mobile at the time and didn't see that capability. Still, there may still be something to adjusting the scaling to zoom, so I'll leave this comment here and suggest that on mobile the feature should be more discoverable.
My younger self want's to adjust all those sliders.
My older self adjusted the screen DPI to 300 DPI, (where I can't see the pixels) and moved the weight slider from lighter to heavier until a phone showed up.
And all that showed was the iPhone.
I could care less about RAM, Sims, SD cards, memory, etc now. These aren't indicative of the experience. My younger self would have loved hunting down the right fit phone from the Android market. My older self? Nah. I'll go take some photos of my kids instead.
?min_ram=4&min_resolution=100&max_weight=6...
or have save-button and make querystrings/hashes like ?preset=384
Decisions, decisions....This seems like someone is trying to resell the phone at profit while supply is low.
The phone is justifiably getting bad reviews at this price, but Google and Motorola would probably not like this. Why is this possible on Amazon?
+1 for radio capabilities.
