In short, Realuxor’s review methodology is our commitment to unbiased, expert tech recommendations you can trust.
[ Review Methodology ] – Phase I: Product Acquisition & Testing (Experience & Expertise)
Our review integrity starts with our hands-on product policy and a commitment to rigorous, measurable testing.
[ Review Methodology ] – Product Sourcing & Acquisition
All products reviewed on Realuxor fall into one of two categories:
- Purchased Retail: Most products are purchased directly at market price — ensuring a genuine out-of-the-box experience and eliminating bias from manufacturers.
- Review Units (loaners): We occasionally accept loaner review units. Receipt of a review unit has no bearing on its final score or recommendation. Units are treated identically to purchased products and are returned or disclosed if retained.
[ Review Methodology ] – Real-World Test Duration & Scenarios
All devices undergo a minimum 2-week real-use testing period before the final review is published.
| Product Category | Example Test Scenarios |
|---|---|
| Laptops | 8-hour simulated workday battery tests, thermal stress runs, compile/render times. |
| Smartphones | Sustained gaming, camera comparisons with flagships, connectivity stability, overnight battery drain. |
| Audio / Wearables | Commute/gym use, ANC testing in public spaces, multi-hour comfort evaluation. |
[ Review Methodology ] – Benchmarks & Measurement Tools
Our technical scores are backed by quantifiable data. We commonly use:
- Processor & System: Geekbench 6, PCMark, Cinebench.
- Storage: CrystalDiskMark, Blackmagic Disk Speed Test.
- Display: X-Rite colorimeter (accuracy, brightness, gamut).
- Audio/Noise: Decibel meter for fans and speaker loudness.
[ Review Methodology ] – Phase II: The Realuxor Scoring Methodology for Best Recommended Reviews
Every product is rated on a 5-star scale using four weighted categories. The aggregate score positions the product against its market peers.
| Scoring Category | Weighting | Focus & Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Performance & Technical Capability | 30% | Highest weight — based on benchmarks and real-world speed tests. |
| Value Proposition | 25% | Cost-to-performance and market positioning. |
| Features, Software & Ecosystem | 25% | Unique software, connectivity, and platform integration. |
| Design, Build Quality & Ergonomics | 20% | Materials, durability, portability, and user comfort. |
| Total Score | 100% |
[ Review Methodology ] – Phase III: Integrity and Maintenance Methodology of Best Recommended Reviews
Review Update Cadence Methodology
We commit to regular maintenance. Evergreen reviews receive a quarterly audit to verify pricing, firmware, and competitive position. Major changes are noted with a clear “Last Updated” timestamp.
Conflicts of Interest & Affiliate Funding
Realuxor is funded primarily through affiliate programs (for example, Amazon). Affiliate income does not influence review scores or recommendations.
Our Promise: Affiliate relationships have zero bearing on final scores. We recommend products we believe are the best, regardless of commission.
