MPP Score Methodology
Every phone on MobilePhonesPro receives an MPP Score — a transparent, data-driven rating from 0 to 100. No editorial bias, no paid placements. Just specs, benchmarks, and math.
How It Works
The MPP Score is computed from 5 categories, each scored 0–100. The overall score is the weighted average of these categories. Every input comes directly from the phone's specification sheet — our database tracks 203 attributes per phone across 15,250 devices.
The formula is simple and reproducible:
MPP Score =
Performance × 0.25 + Camera × 0.25 + Battery × 0.2 + Display × 0.15 + Value × 0.15
Category Breakdown
Performance
25% weightProcessor capability, benchmark scores, RAM, and storage speed.
Scoring Factors:
- Chipset tier classification (Snapdragon 8 Elite → budget Unisoc)
- AnTuTu benchmark score (when available)
- Geekbench single-core and multi-core scores
- RAM capacity (highest variant)
- Storage type (UFS 4.0 → eMMC)
Camera
25% weightSensor quality, lens versatility, video capability, and optical features.
Scoring Factors:
- Main sensor resolution (megapixels)
- Rear camera count and versatility
- Optical Image Stabilization (OIS / sensor-shift)
- Telephoto and optical zoom capability
- Video recording resolution and frame rates
- Sensor physical size (larger = more light)
Battery
20% weightBattery capacity, charging speed, wireless charging, and endurance.
Scoring Factors:
- Battery capacity (mAh)
- Wired charging wattage
- Wireless charging support and wattage
- Endurance rating (when available)
Display
15% weightRefresh rate, brightness, panel technology, resolution, and HDR.
Scoring Factors:
- Refresh rate (60Hz → 240Hz)
- Peak brightness (nits)
- Panel type (LTPO AMOLED → LCD)
- Pixel density (PPI)
- HDR standard support (Dolby Vision, HDR10+)
Value
15% weightHardware quality relative to price — what you get per dollar.
Scoring Factors:
- Average of Performance + Camera + Battery + Display scores
- Compared against retail price
- Higher spec-to-price ratio = higher Value score

Our Transparency Pledge
- No paid placements. MPP Scores are computed algorithmically from spec data. No manufacturer can pay for a higher score.
- Reproducible. Every weight and formula is published on this page. You can verify any phone's score yourself.
- Data-driven. When benchmark data (AnTuTu, Geekbench, 3DMark) is available, it directly influences the Performance score.
- Updated regularly. As new chipsets and technologies emerge, we update the tier tables to keep scores meaningful.
