** Why device specs were removed?
The feature was powered by the GSMArena website which does not offer an API. So we had to rely on a web scraper which did not provide accurate information for certain devices and especially for devices with similar specs and model numbers. Add to that, this component did not add any valuable user facing-features hence it was removed.
