I'm not a "mobile gamer", but I emulate ds and GBA in my phone and the platform is a good one for "actual" rpgs. Some mobile port i played are also ok to good when turn based. So I tried some "rpgs" that play store advertise me and they are barely an rpg. IDK if "idle" RPG can be a rela RPG, any is good?
I'll start playing Honkai because a anon i9n /vrpg/ sell me this very well when I made a thread in vrpg about mobile RPGs. But I still want recommendations. Any good game with exploration, not just a succession of battles with visual novel cutscenes?

You're find more likely to find a rogueli*e than RPGs on mobile. I'd say it's understandable, playing for hours on a phone is suboptimal, and most players prefer something simpler and shorter. Here are some I know:
>Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5 - jrpg parody, but well made, oldfags are fond of these especially
>80 Days - expedition management game with interactive fiction segments, no combat but there is exploration, worth picking up if you're on Play Pass
>Xenowerk Tactics - more of a real-time tactics game, but I thought the demo was interesting, it's also on Play Pass
>Templar Battleforce RPG - I tried the demo but wasn't my thing, seems rather hardcore and I hear it's quite long
>HyperRogue - it's a roguelike and very simplistic at that, but I'd say the areas you explore are quite interesting
>Witchspring series - I know nothing about it, but anons do recommend it sometimes
>Ex Astris - same, one anon keeps saying how underrated it is

Thank you anon, I will check them.
I'm also accepting "rogueli*e" and dungeon crawlers suggestions if they have some depth in the rpg department.

Yeah, I have some more oddball recs:
Path of Adventure - text-based, mostly linear dungeon crawler-ish
Seedship - a simple text-based game about finding a habitable planet, many different endings, a classic
A Dark Room - text-based RPG with exploration and mystery, however there's a bunch of idle base-building before you can depart though there's a secret way of skipping it
Kingdom Two Crowns - mostly tower defense/kingdom sim with exploration and some roleplay, I guess you might like it
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - an actual roguelike
Slice & Dice - it's just combat, but playing around with the classes and items you unlock can be interesting on its own
