How we read it

  • Score from 0 to 10 by spec sheet: chip, memory, screen, camera, battery, connectivity and year. It doesn’t measure real photo quality or durability.
  • Price is the lowest from a trusted store at collection, the upfront-payment price when the store shows one. It changes without notice: check before you buy.
  • Below normal price compares today’s price with the median of recent days from the same seller.
  • A cell phone with no score (incomplete spec sheet) is left out of the score chart and stays in the full list.
  • Prices as of Nov 12, 2026, before shipping. How we calculate.
