shouldn’t rush headlong into the arms of AI.
I am old enough to have watched 2001: Space Odyssey, Colossus: the Forbin Project, and all the Terminator movies. [those AI's were lethal but not stupid, like half the Google initial search results lately].
I would prefer NOT to use AI ...
But, when you are new to a thing (porting of UT specifically to phones, in this case), you search via any & all means necessary to gain knowledge as quickly as possible.
If that information is not so easy to find on the primary website for UT, you search wherever you can find, and try to get multiple sources.
So, when you search for phones that might run UT, and make voice calls, in a specific country, just where are you supposed to look ?
[for starters, in USA, the pixel 3A does NOT do VoLTE, the Volla or other one (can't remember) is missing bands required in USA (again NOT work), and the Nord N10 and N100 which DO work - ALL NOT clearly shown on the device page.]
and how many hours is a person supposed to spend ?
I REALLY appreciate the efforts of @sm-xcx ! (but I already spent the time and money, so that effort helps others, not me directly. Indirectly, it helps others find phone that could work, which grows this whole group, which helps all of us).
