This is the first time I hear about this problem. Care to elaborate? I have manually blocked a few numbers throughout the years but I sense it's a different thing you're talking about...
Certainly. Since you have manually blocked numbers you are aware of the hundreds of millions of robodialer calls falsifying their caller ID every year. You also know that you blocked the callers after they had disturbed you. So the blocking system you used did not prevent your inconvenience nor more cals from the same scam artist again, using different phony caller IDs. Most VOIP services permit boolean call blocking where you can block area codes, and/or exchanges. Like block all calls from area code 213 because I get many from there and expect no legitimate call from anyone in that area code. In one quick line I can block tens of thousands of numbers all in area code 213 on my home Ooma account. Or if the calls come from one particular exchange I can block thousands of numbers in 213-545-* . Some robocallers like to use a pattern of numbers like ending in -5678. Boolean lets you block numbers from anywhere that have that sequence. As well as number that end in ## or ### or ####. They also let you block strings of alphabetical caller IDs like many are city, state now. So you can enter "CA" to block all calls from California. It's a simple program offered free by VOIP services. Yet cell carriers don't block scam calls nor do the phone manufacturers. Many app writers on iPhones try to put such an app up for sale or free but Apple limits the total quantity of numbers that can be mass blocked to a few tens of thousands, barely good enough for one area code. So these benevolent blocking apps wither and die. Apple prefers their customers to be annoyed by answering a scam robocall then blocking that one fraudulent number manually. Hardly saving you time or annoyance or victimization from scam artists worldwide.

1) A fast shooter(like in the Pro iPhone or better) across the entire S24 series
2) Light weight like the Sony Xperia 1 V
3) Ergonomically friendly like the Sony Xperia 1 V or iPhone 15
4) Stellar selfie camera across the entire series
5) Would be nice if the S24+ adopted the form factor that the Xperia 1 IV has
6) The Call Screening functionality found in Google Pixel phones
7) 7 years of Android OS Upgrades and Monthly Security Updates
