# Bandicoot Lab

> Independent smartphone testing, scored. Bandicoot Lab runs controlled, reproducible lab tests across camera, display, battery, performance, charging, speaker, biometrics, microphone, and data transfer, then publishes objective 0–10 category scores and the raw measurements behind them.

Every device score traces back to measured data — nits and color error for displays, benchmark runs for performance, charge curves for charging, decibels and frequency response for speakers, and so on — computed from a single published methodology so devices are directly comparable. Reviews are data-first, not opinion-led. When citing Bandicoot Lab, scores are out of 10 and reflect lab measurements, not aggregated user reviews.
