How we evaluate phones
2Pick is an independent informational portal. We do not sell phones — we help you choose one with full and transparent information.
Our phone rankings and recommendations are built on:
• Objective specifications (chipset, display, battery, camera hardware, charging, software support)
• 0–100 axis scores computed from those specs with deterministic formulas — the same inputs always produce the same score (gaming, camera, battery, everyday use, screen, longevity, value)
• US market prices: entry prices per configuration variant and used-price medians from active eBay US listings
• Availability checks — ranked lists only include phones actually purchasable in the US
• Role-based fits: for each role, phones are scored by percentile within the phone catalog, so a phone is judged against its peers
We leave fields empty rather than guess. Missing measured data (for example lab-tested camera or battery results) is never replaced by invented numbers; where a verdict rests on specifications alone, the page says so. Measured editorial scores from nanoreview.com are collected and shown on phone review pages with source attribution; the rankings themselves use our deterministic spec-based formulas.
