We put each phone we review through a series of tests that push the camera, battery, screen and software to their limits. Here’s a look at CNET’s testing process for phone reviews.

    How is an upload from a tech channel only in 1080p regarding camera quality?
    1080p bitrate on YouTube is trash.

    Which phones are your daily drivers after having tested so many flagship phones.

    Hi. For an english student, can you please ask my question: Is it ok the name of the video? I think the name could be “How does CNET test phones?”

    • Possum

      The current title and yours mean the same thing, and both are correct grammatically.

    keep the good works… some channel (like the verge) don’t review phones from various brands anymore… they only review iPhones lately… 🙄😒

    That’s interesting. Though, I wonder why CNET has decided to release this video now. Could it be related to a recent scandal happening to another media company?

  17. Jevon Sims

    Call quality, touch response, smooth scrolling. Does the phone lag during text messaging? Does it overheat frequently? Any weird bugs or glitches while online?

    Very interesting, and thank you Guys, for letting us know which phones is best for us.

    September 4, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    Hmmm… since you are reviewing phones don’t you think you should be testing call quality?

    when are you checking PWM and temporal dithering on smartphones, tablets etc?
    Companies use it but never mention it which for some people means headaches, eyestrain and even nausia….and returning it
