What we don’t judge on

Security patch level, charging watts, megapixels, benchmark scores and guessed values.

Security patch level and other software settings change with every update, so one reading can’t judge a phone. We use the maker’s written update promise.
Charging watts, megapixels, screen size and weight are shown, never scored as better: faster charging doesn’t make a battery last longer, and more megapixels don’t make better photos.
Chip estimates (1 to 5) come from published design facts: core design and year, graphics, manufacturing and video features. Photo quality and how long a phone holds its speed when hot need testing, so they aren’t judged.
Values with no source show “not published” and stay out of the verdict.
