Editorial Guidelines

These standards govern everything published on FindsBest — specifications, comparisons, expert scores, and buying advice. They exist so you can trust that what you read is accurate, independent, and consistently applied.

Independence from manufacturers

We buy or independently source the devices we cover. Brands do not pay for coverage, placement, ratings, or favourable wording, and no manufacturer sees a review before it is published.

Specifications are verified, not copied blindly

Specs come from official manufacturer sheets and are cross-checked against the retail unit at launch. Where a manufacturer revises a spec after release, we update the page and note that it changed.

Hands-on testing over spec-sheet claims

Benchmark scores (AnTuTu, PCMark battery life), charging times, and brightness figures reflect our own measurements or clearly-labelled advertised figures — never invented numbers.

Clear affiliate disclosure

Some retailer links earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences which phones we list, how we score them, or what we write. Commercial content, if any, is always labelled.

Corrections are a priority, not an afterthought

Found an error? Tell us via the contact form. Factual corrections are typically live within 24 hours, and significant changes are noted on the page.

Ratings follow a consistent rubric

Expert scores use the same category weights (design, display, camera, performance, battery, software) across every device, so a 4.2 on one phone means the same as a 4.2 on another.

Who's accountable

Editorial decisions rest with the FindsBest team, not with advertisers or manufacturers. Questions about a specific rating, a correction, or our methodology? Contact us — corrections are our highest priority. You can also read more about who we are and how the site is funded on our About page.
