How the durability score is calculated
Protection against water, dust and scratches: water resistance (60%, required), cover glass generation (20%, when published), metal frame (20%).
Does not include drop tests.
| Input | Weight | Required | Scale: value → points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water resistance (IP69 100, IP68 95, IP67 80, IP65 50, IP54 35, none 0) | 60% | yes | fixed 0–100 scale (see label) |
| Cover glass generation (named by the maker) | 20% | no, used when published | fixed 0–100 scale (see label) |
| Metal frame | 20% | no | yes = 100, no = 0 |
Worked example
The Poco X8 Power is #3 in the current durability list. Its durability score of 100 comes from these inputs:
| Input | This phone | Points | Weight | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water resistance (IP69 100, IP68 95, IP67 80, IP65 50, IP54 35, none 0) | IP69 rated | 100 | 60% | 75.0 |
| Cover glass generation (named by the maker) | worked out from other specifications | 100 | 20% | 25.0 |
| Metal frame | not confirmed | — | 20% | left out |
The contributions add up to the score. An input that is not confirmed is left out and the remaining weights are scaled up to 100%, except where the category counts an unknown input at the middle of its scale (shown as "counts as 50").
