How the gaming Score is calculated
The score is a weighted average of the device's compatibility with each of the 8 games evaluated. Each game gets a verdict (0 to 100) and a weight, and the final score is the average of those points.
- Won't run — 0 points
- Runs on low — 25 points
- Runs on medium — 55 points
- Runs on high — 80 points
- Runs competitive — 100 points
Heavy games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile) carry more weight than light games (Subway Surfers, Brawl Stars), because running the heavy one already implies handling the light one. Each game's verdict combines chipset (tier or real AnTuTu), minimum RAM, screen refresh rate and operating system.
| Game | Verdict | Weight | Calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Fire | 100 | × 1.5 | = 150.0 |
| Subway Surfers | 100 | × 0.5 | = 50.0 |
| Brawl Stars | 100 | × 0.8 | = 80.0 |
| Roblox | 100 | × 1.2 | = 120.0 |
| EA Sports FC Mobile | 100 | × 1.0 | = 100.0 |
| Call of Duty Mobile | 80 | × 1.6 | = 128.0 |
| PUBG Mobile | 80 | × 1.6 | = 128.0 |
| Genshin Impact | 55 | × 1.8 | = 99.0 |
| Fortnite | 80 | × 1.3 | = 104.0 |
| Minecraft | 100 | × 0.7 | = 70.0 |
| Pokémon GO | 100 | × 0.6 | = 60.0 |
| Honkai: Star Rail | 80 | × 1.4 | = 112.0 |
| Honor of Kings | 100 | × 1.0 | = 100.0 |
| Habbo | 100 | × 0.3 | = 30.0 |
| Mobile Legends: Bang Bang | 100 | × 1.0 | = 100.0 |
| League of Legends: Wild Rift | 80 | × 1.0 | = 80.0 |
| Love and Deepspace | 55 | × 0.8 | = 44.0 |
| Standoff 2 | 100 | × 0.7 | = 70.0 |
| ARK: Ultimate Mobile | 55 | × 1.0 | = 55.0 |
| Among Us | 100 | × 0.4 | = 40.0 |
| Stardew Valley | 100 | × 0.4 | = 40.0 |
| Wuthering Waves | 55 | × 1.4 | = 77.0 |
| Zenless Zone Zero | 55 | × 1.3 | = 71.5 |
| eFootball | 80 | × 0.8 | = 64.0 |
| Total | 24.1 | 1972.5 | |
