How we evaluate the phones at Zelect?


Zelect score is a computer generated unique score generated on the basis of multiple factors. The main influencing factor is value for money. The important influencing parameters are mentioned below.


  • Value for money
    In short, the specs for given price. For example, if Xiomi Redmi phone with 2 GB RAM are offered at Rs. 7,000 then the value for money for the phone is way better compared to the phone which offers the same 2 GB RAM at Rs. 10,000 (assuming other specs are same). Our algorithm asses important specs like RAM, memory, camera quality, CPU speed, CPU cores for given price point. Finally, generate a unique value for money score.

  • Brand value
    Brand value and its service quality is also vital factor assessing the phone. This rating will hedge against the phones of mediocre brands with very poor service.

  • Ratings and reviews
    Value for money and brand value pretty much covers the phone quality. We collect the ratings and reviews from major ecommerce stores, newspapers, and exclusive phone review portals. These reviews add additional safety net around the quality of the phone.

  • Freshness of the phone
    We give little extra weightage to the recently launched phones. The reason being the latest phones will have latest OS, good value for money compared to earlier phones in that series and finally will have good support for any wear and tear at service centres.
