Hi!
I am not a Gnss expert but as far as I have read, accurate location isn't a worrisome for manufacturers nor main consumers, so is almost a matter of luck when selecting to buy a phone for fieldwork. A 5m accuracy is ok for my job, but I am more concerned about precision.
 For example now I have a poco F3 (naively bought it partially because it double band capabilities) but precision is bad. If I try returning to a point I previously marked (physically and in device), the phone tells me that I am at the exact same point but actually I am at least two meters from the physical flag. The phone I had before (Samsung s10e exynos) had almost within meter precision.
That's why I straightforward ask here for (personal) recommendations of devices with nice precision, since accuracy is a hot topic in phone gnss. I am at Chile and fieldwork is often in areas without network signal, so "SBASless" opinions are encouraged.

Thanks in advance!

Is there some sort of UBLOX usb dongle that makes better sense?  Plug it into a laptop computer.  They claim high precision...
