How the Lynx scores
Based on the mandatory manufacturer data in the EU database EPREL, measured with standardised test procedures. For each value we count how many of the 908 registered devices in this category perform worse. Weighting of the Lynx score (0–100): battery life per charge 25 %, drop-test durability 20 %, repairability 20 %, battery lifespan in charge cycles 15 %, guaranteed software updates 10 %, water protection 10 %. Price is not included. Values are manufacturer declarations, not measured by us.
