GSMArena feature labs: The tests

26 April 2012
The GSMArena Labs are tests designed to give an objective account of how a device performs in real-world scenarios. In short, it's about what you can expect from a gadget you're planning to buy. Our tests are constantly being developed...

            Is the colour accuracy test no longer a thing?

            The recent reviews sometimes have not been including the exact deltaE (average or maximum) values, and instead just mention whether a display is considered "good enough" in terms of colour accuracy or for colour critical work. The latest two reviews though (Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro and Vivo X100 Pro), as of this day, do not mention colour accuracy at all.

              100% used as 1h talk, 1h video, 1h web browsing, 21h standby.

              100% used as continuous talk until battery is drained

              100% used as continuous web browsing until battery is drained

              90% used as continuous video playback until battery hits 10%

                I still don't understand the main figure. If calls, browsing, watching a video are all done each day even with the rest of a day in standby, for an hour, there's no way that any smartphone endures e.g. 120h?

                Or maybe it boils down to performinone test and than letting the battery drain, which is a bit more probable, only not clearly stated.

                  Could you please do a battery endurance test for the TCL 30XL. I know it's just a budget phone, but I only use it to stream content at home. The battery is amazing! With heaving usage I can go all day and not have to charge this phone. So I'm curious to see where it ranks battery wise. Thanks

                    You should add a standard test for camera in motion and for a shaking camera.
                    A cheap smartphone might have decent quality for stable photos, but a blurry mess with any small movement.
                    Human hands are rarely that stable or you're unlikely to spend that much time trying to stabilize a photo.

                                  PhoneAddict, 18 Nov 2021I wish it had a longer battery life on webbrowsing. 12:37hr... moreTotally agree on the first part... 12hrs is a bit too short for Web-Browsing.

                                  The second part was offending though. Nothing wrong in being a women and categorising one as chatty as a woman is a bit too what may I call it "sexist". And FYI I've got sisters and can guarantee that I talk much more on the phone (Zoom Call dial-ins) through out the day more than all the respected and amazing women in my life. So kind request, lets keep judgements out of here.

                                    Just peeved at them for only one reason; they don't do a complete review including Battery Endurance Test for mid-ranger phones (which is what I'm focused on - not a gamer but a mostly work on apps specific to the Browsing capabilities). Hence curious on the Browsing Time + Talk Time. Thats all!

                                    GSMArena Team should create a new list of Battery Endurance Stats for phones which are available for sale; new list should exclude the older phones which are no longer available i.e. > 2years old smartphones should be removed from the looooong list. Their numbers can be included in their individual Specs List Battery Life Test numbers.

Moreover, if they rated a phone as 4.7 in 2020 - Q4 will the ratings still hold true for the same phone in 2022 - Q1 ? (e.g. iPhone 12 Pro Max would have gotten a ~4.9/5 rating in Q4/2020 - by Q2/2022 would that rating still apply?) Then in such case they would have to devise such a dynamic rating scales which would evolve overtime with the introduction of every new phones. For a rating you may refer to other sites but we love GSMArena for its informative description of the phones and their reviews which is quite comprehensive compared to other reviews we get on the net.
