In this test its good if you also tell which is better, i mean lower is better or higher is better.

Because just reading or seeing test result its difficult to understand for many people that which is better or which is the best phone contrast.

                GSMArena must put Nokia 701 in this test as it performs best outdoors. Nokia 701 would have beat all the other smartphones in this test.

                      Why you have not shown anywhere GALAXY Nexus. Is it a cheaper phone or is not compatible for such contest?
                      I strongly protest!!!!!!!!!

                              You have included most of the flagships of the known brand. Why not Arc S? Only one for SE?

                                  How about GPS tracking ability test, give us the top 5 phones with the most sensitive GPS ... what's the point of a GPS if it takes you 10 minutes to just get a signal...

                                  (P.S when the ice age hits us full on in about 40 years, sunlight legibility tests wont be required :D )

                                      usul, 18 Apr 2012Nokia Lumia??if you look at the iPhone 4 and 4S, you will see that their displays are very close in the test... you can safely assume that the Lumia 800 having the same display technology as the N9 will be there-about... then again another factor in the test would be how it were carried out, as you would think the two iPhones having the same display would perform eqaully, however it may be that they were in a slighly different possition.
