    Hello! I have an idea of improvising Beamng website for Mobile phones. For now the website looks weird in mobile phones. But it would be amazing if it was improvised for mobile phones.

    this is running a web browser and os from 2015 and a very low resolution screen. websites shouldn't be developing websites for 12 year old smartphones running 8 year old software

    Website works perfectly fine on a Motorola G50, in fact I go on this website only with that (unless I'm downloading mods)

    It works perfectly well on my Motorola G60s (Android 12), and on my G5 (Android 8 - Oreo), although I can't get it to work at all on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.4 - KitKat) which is hardly surprising considering the age of the OS. What is surprising though is the fact that the website still opens on your phone, considering your phone is at least two years older than my S3 (2012). I suspect this is probably a technological limitation due to the system and its restricted capabilities. Well done for keeping that phone going for such a long time though!

    2011 was over 10 years ago... Sure some backwards compatibility is good but this would be too much

    That's a marketing technique called "planned obsolescence" After a couple of years, the OS no longer receives updates and you will eventually have to replace the phone when things slow down too much or updates required to continue running a certain app are no longer compatible with the system. Companies do this to earn more money through selling more phones, although it is possible to install certain versions of Linux that can keep your phone going for longer. Issue 299 of Linux Format that has a couple of pages on it and you can buy the magazine online.
