We test all aspects of a new phone and processor phone to the cameras.
We Test each phone In the real world scenarios focusing on its features, design, performance, cameras, battery life and its overall value. We document our results in an initial examination which is periodically updated when there are new software updates or to compare with new phones from competitors like Apple, Samsung, Google and OnePlus.
Photography
Photography is a major objective for most phones these days, so we take photos and videos of various subjects in a variety of parameters and lighting scenarios. We are trying all the new camera modes such as the Slow Motion 4K 120FPS mode which made its debut on the iPhone 16 Pro or the Photo Tool Add Me which was launched with the Google Pixel 9 series.
Battery life
The battery test is carried out in various ways. We assess how long a phone lasts for a typical day of use and note how it works during more targeted sessions of video calls, media streaming and games. We also carry out a video reading test, which is not always included in the initial examination and is added later in an update.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has largely the same camera material as the Z Flip 4. But the new chip provides image processing improvements.
Performance
We use comparative analysis applications to measure performance, as well as our own anecdotal experiences using the phone for our exam. It should be noted what graphics and animations look like. Are they smooth? Or are they late or stammering? We also examine the speed with which the telephone rocks between the horizontal and vertical orientations and how fast the applies the camera opens and is ready to take a photo.
We perform heavy processor tasks such as modification of photos, export of videos and games. We evaluate if a more recent version of a particular phone includes enough features for it to be worth upgraded from older models.
