46.4Common questions
How is this ranking put together?
Every phone is scored the same way: seven blocks (smoothness, battery, camera hardware, screen, build, longevity, basics) measured against fixed published anchors, never against the rest of the catalog. The full recipe is public: Methodology.
Can a phone pay to rank higher?
No. The order comes only from the published algorithm. Shop links never move a single position — if a phone is high on the list, it earned it on paper.
How fresh is this list?
The date above updates whenever the catalog is rebuilt. New phones join as soon as their verified specifications land, usually within days of announcement.
