Phones JO overall index — computed from specs
A weighted average of five indicators derived from published specs and price: chipset class, display, camera setup, battery capacity and value for money. Not a hands-on test and not user ratings — it does not measure real photo quality or actual battery life.

Approximate ratings computed from the published specs (display type and refresh rate, cameras, battery and charging, and price vs. performance) — not lab tests.
What does that mean in plain words?
Chipset: Exynos 3475 — basic tier (8/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing. Battery: 2,600 mAh — a relatively small capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it. Charging: 5W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature). Display: Super AMOLED, 5.0-inch — an OLED panel (true blacks, higher contrast than LCD). Camera: 8 MP (1 lens) plus a 5 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.
