The CNET expert reviews team thoroughly tests every phone on this list. They go beyond just marketing promises and actually use the phone, testing its features, playing games, and taking photos. If they find any issues, such as battery life or build quality, they provide honest feedback.
During testing, the team examines every aspect of the phone, including the display, design, processor performance, battery life, camera quality, and features. They test all of the phone’s cameras in various conditions, comparing their findings to similarly priced models. They also conduct real-world battery tests to see how long the phone lasts under everyday use.
In addition to these specifications, the team considers other features like 5G capability, fingerprint and face readers, styluses, fast charging, and foldable displays. They take into account their experiences and testing and weigh them against the price to determine if a phone offers good value.
