Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Not trustworthy anymore!

I was a very big fan of Phonecurry and used to recommend it to all my friends because I felt it was quite unbiased. I used it to buy my phones since 2011 however, since then the website has lost all of its credibility.

All the factors that come to mind while selecting a phone were accounted for:
1. Cost;
2. Form factor(build materials);
3. Aesthetics(look and feel);
4. Performance Benchmarks;
5. Brand value;
6.Battery life;
7. Repair Cost;
8. Durability;
just to name a few.

These factors made up the overall score, which was a respectable score to compare phones and list out the top phones.

However, in the following years, they have taken a complete 180-degree turn and gone back on those values and created a new rating called excellence score (which apparently means "score compared to all other phones in existence")and basically turned into a platform baiting uninformed users to buy apple products by default.

All of their top-rated phones are iPhones declaring according to all benchmarks Apple is superior.

They have essentially given the top 20-25 ranks to iPhones which immediately and falsely renders all android phones far inferior in "excellence score".

I have checked the performance benchmarks where they compare A13 processor to Snapdragon Processor and have unanimously declared Apple the winner.
What is this based on? Did you compare snapping a pretty picture on iPhone vs running a RAM heavy First-person shooter on android?
Why haven't you addressed the poor battery issues on iPhone?
Why haven't you addressed the problem of older versions deliberately being slowed down to force you to buy newer iPhones? True story covered by BBC, look it up.

This website dedicated to helping you select phones shamelessly shoves one specific brand down your throat while shining a bad light over its competitors using a bogus"Excellence Score".

In conclusion, if you can't decide what phone to buy, Phonecurry will do what every commission based salesman will do. Sell you the most expensive phone in your budget.
