Phones & tablets
2,379 smartphones and tablets on the EU energy label register, 2,359 of them still on sale. The label says little about electricity cost and a lot about how long a device lasts, so we rank by durability.

| Tablets | 41/100 1,343 |
Why by type. Phones and tablets are scored against their own kind only, because tablet batteries and drop tests are not comparable with phones.

Questions people ask
What does the EU label on a phone show?
An energy class, battery endurance per charge, charge cycles until the battery falls to 80 %, a drop resistance class, a repairability class and the dust and water rating.
How is the durability score calculated?
For battery life, charge cycles, drops survived, repairability and years of updates we take each device’s percentile among its own type and average them. At least four values must be declared. It is our summary, not an EU rating.
How long must spare parts and updates be available?
Under the EU ecodesign rules, spare parts for at least 7 years and operating system updates for at least 5 years after the model stops being sold.
