How the video score is calculated

Video recording hardware: maximum video resolution (30%, required), 4k video frame rate (25%), optical image stabilisation on main camera (20%), 4k selfie video (15%), chip gpu, 3dmark wild life extreme (10%).

Specification-based; it does not measure stabilisation quality or audio.

Inputs, weights and scales for the video score (formula version 2.6). Values between two points are scored on the straight line between them; values beyond the ends get the end score.

Worked example

The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL is #3 in the current video list. Its video score of 93 comes from these inputs:

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").
