HOW WE REVIEW · METHODOLOGY
Live with it.
Every product is tested for at least seven days as a primary daily driver. No press-loan one-day demos. Reviewers replace their own gear if they have to.
Run the bench.
We run a fixed set of synthetic and real-world benchmarks for each category — same battery test, same camera test, same sound test. Numbers are published, not summarized.
Compare against the field.
Every review names two real competitors at the same price point and explains where each device wins or loses. We avoid hand-waving terms like 'best in class'.
Disclose every loaner and link.
Loaner units are returned. Affiliate links are tagged 'sponsored' and disclosed in the byline. Sponsorships of the publication are disclosed at the article level.
Score, then verdict.
We score on a 0-10 scale across performance, design, software, value, and longevity. The final score is the median, not the average — outliers do not pad the verdict.
