Motherboard Box vs Phone Farm Rack
Also in our Knowledge Base: Motherboard Box vs Phone Farm Rack — structured reference version of this guide.
**Motherboard box:** Screenless Android boards, higher density, lower per-node cost. Common in headless automation labs.
**Phone farm rack:** Full smartphones with displays and sensors. Better when apps need camera, GPS, or on-device UI validation.
**SIM lab note:** Tray access depends on board or phone model — confirm in a compatibility check before quoting.
