Editorial policy

The score is an opinion. It is not for sale, and it is not a quote we invented.

Last updated 14 November 2026. Publisher: [COMPANY LEGAL NAME].

What we cover

Phones first, then tablets and wearables, plus the news and UK deals that change a buying decision. We write for readers in the United Kingdom, in British English, with prices in pounds.

How a score is reached

Reviews can carry a score from 1 to 5, including halves. It weighs the published specification, the UK price and what you give up, software support, cameras, battery and charging, repair and parts where that information is public, and how the device fits the phones people already own. A comparison does not need a single score. News does not get a score.

We do not invent laboratory measurements. If we have not measured something, we say whose published figure it is, or we leave the number out. We do not fabricate quotations from executives, reviewers or owners.

Authors, including automated drafts

The house byline is TechnoStatus Desk. A story may be drafted with software, including by an automated author that adds a Markdown file, and then checked before or after publication. The byline is still responsible. A human editor can replace that byline with their own name in the file. Drafting tools do not get a vote on the score.

Independence

Affiliate links and ads do not buy coverage, placement or a higher score. If a company loans a device, we will say so in the story. Staff must not review a product they have a financial stake in. See the affiliate disclosure.

Corrections

If a fact is wrong, email [CONTACT EMAIL] or use the contact form and choose Correction. Material corrections are noted on the story and the updated date in the file is changed. Typos may be fixed without a note.

Health and safety

Wearable health features are consumer tools. They are not medical devices in our copy, and they are not a reason to skip a clinician.

Complaints

Write to the contact address. If you are unhappy with the response and the issue is about personal data, you can go to the ICO. Editorial complaints about accuracy stay with the publisher.

The status, occasionally

A short UK briefing when a phone, tablet or wearable is actually worth your money. No daily spam.

Occasional briefings. Unsubscribe any time. We only store your address if newsletter storage is connected.
