How it works

How the MobiCircuit Score Works

This score is based mainly on a phone's specifications. It is not from our own lab tests.

77%
This phone
 

Performance

Chipset class and RAM.

Camera

Main sensor, stabilization (OIS), extra lenses, video quality and optical zoom.

Battery

Battery size, charging speed and chipset efficiency. A bigger battery alone does not mean longer life.

Display

Panel type, refresh rate and resolution.

How it's combined: each part is scored, then combined. Performance and Camera count the most. Scores are calibrated against the wider market so they stay realistic and consistent across phones.
Good to know: a score from specifications can't measure real battery life or real photo quality. Use it as a guide, and read reviews before you decide.
