Figuring out best device for me and my uses

[CompuDino]

Its seriously OVER selection and choices when it comes to Android devices. The Reviews section isn't helpful as it assumes I already know the geek speak and differences between tablets, smart phones and all the accessory options those offer.

Is there a section/forum that is just for Android BASICS and assistance vs. wading thru all the specific device forums to find out what would be best for me to consider if/when my little old Nexus 7 2012 dies?

Thanks!!
