there are some changes which you did great..but some are not favourable and just complicated.....like we loved the final rating thing....but percentile thing is just useless...please remove it....better would be if you keep old interference with this final rating thing as goodies...that would the amazing...we would love it.......it was easy to navigate there page wise page...please bring your old navigation bck on review page........last time when changing you website look you didn't heard and didn't worked how your trusted visitors wanted in your website...we reluctantly even accepted that..but that's it....this time there won't be any excuse...bring back last navigation or you will looose many more visitors of your website.....read this and atleast please give us option to select from detailed review or short review

Brilliant idea and perfect job, as usual ☺ -
easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to make the right decision on a given smartphone in an essential concise format. You've been my only reference trustworthy website when it comes to mobile phone news & specs since the good old days of the GSM mobile devices!
Well done, keep it up!

...I also forgot to mention that there is still no timesaving info about how much you can shoot/record video(4k/fhd) per 1 file/battery. It's thing common in specs of d. camera's, mainly now after sony's new sensor with less energy drain.

- Do you find them too short or too long?
Just the right length.
- Do you understand the percentile ranks and their visualizations?
Yes.
- Do you like this format better than the regular multi-page reviews?
No. In a multipage review, I choose prime aspects and study them in detail. My favorite sections in a multipage review are:- Audio quality, Camera, Video & lastly, Performance.
- How do you feel about our scores and do you find them meaningful?
They're meaningful, but you have to think about the future. You're giving 97% to a "Certain" Benchmark OS II Score... Fine for today. What about tomorrow?
In future, will its percentage automatically decrease when say, another Exynos or Snapdragon flagship phone exceeds the present standards?
For example, in 2010, you could give 99% score to a 720p display on a mobile, because it was flagship grade, but today you would have to edit the review and decrease it, because 720p is not deserving a 99% as for "today".
So, my question, will this "percentage" automatically change as the industry standard specs change?

I support this new system. Well done GSMArena... Thank you for this.
Personally, I would get a phone after seeing its full review only though. But yes, its appreciable anyhow.

Great work GSMArena team. These type of reviews will be very helpful. They are one-page and conclusive reviews. I liked the rating concept of each section. Everything can't be included in these time saving reviews and you have done the right job.

- Do you find them too short or too long? Length is fine.
- Do you understand the percentile ranks and their visualizations? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
- Do you like this format better than the regular multi-page reviews? No. Every version has its own usage.
- How do you feel about our scores and do you find them meaningful? It's good to know the experts taste, but in choosing a phone, entire review is main factor not scores.

- Do you find them too short or too long?
Ans: Length is just right considering the amount of information has been added in one page IMO.
- Do you understand the percentile ranks and their visualizations?
Ans: Yeah its easy to understand, but I don't understand that how it will be useful to the readers.
- Do you like this format better than the regular multi-page reviews?
Ans: I'll be neutral here. I like this time-saver review because its short and precise along with score system. On the contrary I like complete review because of its detailed information.
- How do you feel about our scores and do you find them meaningful?
Ans: Absolutely. Score makes it a lot easier for people who are not very technical to decide which phone to buy. At the same time assigning score to different aspect of the phone makes it easier to compare other phones with it and decide which phone to buy based on priorities.
Also, what is this coolness rating for? Is it about the phone temperature under extreme load like gaming or general use ?

i liked the way of the time saving review but here are some suggestions
1.the phone should be devided into categories like flagship 2015 or maybe midrange contender
2. scores should be given on the two basis , the first is by comparing the scores to all phone for eg comparing camera of s6 (i mean it was the champ that time) and 2nd is on the basis of the price department in which it exist for eg. redmi note 3 might not be a champ in looks when it is compared to all devices but it is a lot better when we compare it's price and same goes with moto x play's battery life (why was score given low by the way?)
well i also suggest that the second rating about considering price could be given with the moniker'value for money' for eg. moto x play was not best camera example in indrustry but for price point it was among best so it coulb be given 4.5 star or 5 star in value for money
3. there are many selfie lovers these days (not me) but a mention about it (maybe a rating too ) could help some people too,
i hope gsmarena will notice this feedback and make at least some changes accordingly @gsmarena
