Phonebox choice for instagram farm scaling for OF traffic

[tatarinnt]

I'm trying to choose phone boxes and their specifications to purchase and further configure to scale my farm to drive traffic to OnlyFans.

I was advised to choose between the Samsung S10 and S21. I chose the S10, but I need help choosing the box specifications.
Specifically:

Telephone System: Official system/Optimize the system/root system
SIM Support: Yes/No (I will be using mobile proxies, so I guess "no")
Additional mobile screen: Without screen/Verification Screen/Work screen
Additional camera : Yes/No
Android version: Android 12/Android 11 (I found here on forum that Android 12 will be better)

Please help me with choosing the specifications for the phone box, and if I'm wrong in my choice, tell me how to make it better.

Sorry for a bit off topic, but you sure you want to go with Android phone farm? I’m just curious why people choose Android while iPhones give you trust score boost for free, just because they’re iPhones..

I asked for advice from someone who does this with Androids and manages 3,000 accounts, so I think yes, I'm sure, and according to him, iPhones are more difficult to set up and automate than Androids.

Go with official system not rooted, Instagram detects root easier now. No SIM since you're using mobile proxies. Work screen is worth it for managing multiple accounts. Android 12 is fine, your source is right on that

Most people go for official system, no SIM, no extra screen, no extra camera, Android 12.

Thank you for your reply. I found out that I will be using onimator and soft for the phonebox to manage phones, so maybe I think I don't need that work screen because it will be available to manage them through soft , so I don't need to pick up each phone with my hands and doing something.

If I am wrong please tell me, I am not trying to argue, just saying what I think, thank you

You're right, if you're managing everything through software remotely then the work screen is unnecessary, skip it and save the cost.

If you’re running a farm you’re overthinking the specs a bit.
S10 is fine, lots of farms still run them because they’re cheap and stable. S21 is nicer hardware but for farming it usually doesn’t change much besides the price.
Don’t bother with root unless you know exactly why you need it. Rooted phones trigger extra checks in some apps and it can create more problems than it solves.
SIM support doesn’t matter if you’re using mobile proxies anyway, so yeah “no” is fine.
Screen — just take the normal work screen. Verification screen setups are usually only useful for very specific workflows.
Extra camera also not really needed unless you’re planning to do selfie verification directly on the device.
Android 11 or 12 both work. Most farms stick to 11 because it’s more stable with older automation tools.
Honestly the biggest bottleneck in farms is rarely the phone specs. It’s proxies, IP reputation and account quality.

Thank you both, you give some food for thinking. And yes I understand that phone specs its 1% of all farm, but I am only starting and it's a step one, I will be going to look through some software.

What I already found it's onimator for human behavior. A lot of thoughts about that one, someone work with that (I know man who manage 3000 accs with that), someone says it's trash, so I think it's only a tool, not a ready-made solution and you need to configure it properly to make it working good.

And "App Cloner" for cloning instagram apps, there is also Nomix but I found a lot of bad things about Nomix and a lot of good things about App Cloner, so I will stick to "App Cloner" I think. If you have another opinion, I am open to listen to that.

And also I found out that I need my own video uniqueizer. Or a real good one with a lot of settings for a start. I don't think it will be a big problem to create it.

And of course I need to found really good mobile proxies and I need to find out how to rotate them without having to do it manually through 20 devices (200 accounts)

How many separate isolation you can create with Samsung? 1 main, 1 knox, and 1 island?

Most issues at scale come from patterns not specs even with good hardware footprints ip behavior and account actions matter more focus on clean setup diversity over just device choice

I was advised to choose between the Samsung S10 and S21. I chose the S10, but I need help choosing the box specifications.
Specifically:

Telephone System: Official system/Optimize the system/root system
SIM Support: Yes/No (I will be using mobile proxies, so I guess "no")
Additional mobile screen: Without screen/Verification Screen/Work screen
Additional camera : Yes/No
Android version: Android 12/Android 11 (I found here on forum that Android 12 will be better)

Please help me with choosing the specifications for the phone box, and if I'm wrong in my choice, tell me how to make it better.

Hey bro, I can give you some advice on how he is making videos unique and on mobile proxies (not some mass-market provider, but real private mobile proxies) where you can set up rotation. I sent you a DM

Go with Samsung S10 (Android 12) only if budget is tight, but keep in mind it’s older hardware with limited future support, while S21 offers better performance and longevity.

For scaling, use optimized (non-root) systems to avoid instability, disable SIM if using mobile proxies and choose work screen + no extra camera to reduce overhead.

Android 12 is fine, but stability matters more than version, focus on clean setup and device consistency.

If scaling long-term, upgrading to S21 or newer will give better speed and efficiency.

Hi, I have a question about using Nomix. Do I need to enable fake GPS and a proxy in SocksDroid, or are they automatically enabled when creating devices? When I created a device in the bot, I entered my mobile proxy, and Nomix generated a location, but I’m not sure if it works continuously or if they just create a phone using that proxy and location.

For the specs — stock Android is fine,
rooting isn't worth the hassle unless you really
need it. Android 11 > 12 for farm use, less
restrictions.

No SIM, no camera, no extra screen — you're
right on all of those, saves cost.

The device specs matter less than people think
though. The bigger issue is always the proxy side.
If your phones are sharing IP patterns you'll lose
accounts in batches no matter how good the devices
are. Learned that the hard way lol

How many devices you starting with?

which software is best for managing them if you don't me asking?

which software would be best for managing them + having logins from other places?

 

[zalenciaagency]

go with the optimized or rooted system since it gives you more control over device fingerprinting official system is too limited. no SIM is correct since you’re using mobile proxies anyway.

are you saying the software default to the box?
