How the ranking is made
This page shows all models of this brand or supplier from the smartphones ranking, with the same data and the same order; the order follows our overall rating from 8 EPREL values (our own rating), the values themselves stay unchanged. Spellings that differ only in upper and lower case count as one name. In the French data, a supplier (manufacturer, importer or retailer) reports the score; the brand comes from the sales name confirmed on the manufacturer’s website or, where the supplier sells exactly one brand, from the supplier. Models without a reliable brand count towards no brand.
Method, cleaning and limits of the full ranking
How we choose the favourites
- Favourites come only from devices with their own device page (confirmed sales name or well-known consumer brand), and each is from a different brand.
- Our favourite: the highest overall rating.
- Best for battery replacement: the highest overall rating among devices whose battery you can replace yourself, according to the supplier.
- Longest updates: the most years of software updates among devices with an overall rating of 5 or more; on a tie, the higher overall rating.
- If a rule drops out, the next one applies: longest battery life, then most charge cycles, each among devices with an overall rating of 5 or more.
- After the favourite, the first two rules that find a suitable device apply. A rule drops out if it applies equally to every device on the page. If a rule finds no suitable device, its card is left out, so fewer than three favourites may appear. On topic and brand pages, the rules apply to the filtered list; on brand pages without the different-brand condition. Nobody can buy a place as a favourite.
Icons in the list: green means at least the typical value in the category (median), grey means below. Our own calculation from the data; the values themselves are unchanged.
Compared: all 5 smartphones from Huawei in EPREL, the European Commission’s product database (supplier data). As of 2 November 2026, updated weekly. Order: by our overall rating from 8 factors (our own rating; weights under “How the ranking is made” on the full ranking); the rank counts within this page.
