A working archive of the 612 devices Gizazine editors have lived with, dismantled, and judged in 2024 — written by people who actually use the gear they cover.
Fourteen days, two teardowns, and one thermal chamber run later — the new flagship earns the highest smartphone score Gizazine has awarded in 18 months.
Three weeks of commute, office, and one red-eye flight. The verdict isn't what the marketing suggested.

Every device that appears on this page has spent an average of 14 days in an editor's home, on their body, or on their desk — not in a press-room brief. Reviews are written by the person who carried the device, and the score is theirs alone to defend.
Our in-house benchmarking lab in Greenpoint tears down more than 80 devices a year with a documented, public methodology — repairability, thermals, RF performance, and battery chemistry get numbers, not adjectives. We do not accept paid review placements. Every scorecard in this archive is funded by readers, not PR budgets, and is governed by a 12-standard editorial ethics policy we publish openly. If a product fails, we say so plainly, with the test data to back it up.
The reviews desk is 14 full-time editors and 34 regular contributors across 11 countries. Reader-funded, ad-light, and 2.7× the average read time of consumer-tech publishing.
