GicraMobile delivers independent smartphone reviews, guides, and news grounded in real‑world testing. This Editorial Policy describes our standards for accuracy, independence, sourcing, and transparency.
Our Principles
- Independence: We do not accept payment for positive coverage. Advertisers, affiliates, and partners do not influence reviews, rankings, or conclusions.
- Accuracy: Claims are verified through testing, documentation, or credible sources. We correct errors promptly (see Corrections Policy).
- Transparency: We clearly label sponsored content and disclose affiliate relationships (see Affiliate Disclosure).
- User‑first: We focus on what improves daily experience—battery, camera consistency, network reliability, software support.
How We Test
- Setup & Updates: Latest firmware and a typical set of apps to mirror real use.
- Display: Brightness outdoors, color modes, PWM comfort, refresh behavior.
- Performance: App launch/scroll smoothness, multitasking stability, thermals.
- Battery & Charging: Mixed‑use estimates, idle drain, charging temps and safety.
- Cameras: Day/night photography, HDR, skin tones, video stabilization and audio.
- Connectivity: LTE/5G bands, Wi‑Fi performance, Bluetooth and car integrations.
- Longevity: Update policy, bloatware, privacy controls, accessibility features.
We cross‑check specs against manufacturer documents and reputable databases, and we note regional differences (bands, chipsets, chargers) that affect buying decisions.
Sourcing & Citations
We cite primary sources (manufacturer pages, standards bodies) and respected secondary sources when needed. Rumors are labeled as such and avoided in reviews and buying guides.
Product Samples & Loans
Loaned units are returned unless explicitly stated. Free samples never guarantee coverage or a positive outcome. If a sample or travel support is provided, we disclose it.
Sponsorships & Advertising
Sponsored posts are clearly labeled “Sponsored” or “Partner.” Advertising departments have no authority over editorial content. Affiliate relationships are disclosed and do not affect verdicts.
Updates & Re‑Reviews
We update articles for accuracy when firmware or pricing changes meaningfully. Substantial changes are noted on‑page with a time stamp. For major shifts, we may publish a revised review.
User Feedback & Right of Reply
We welcome feedback from readers and manufacturers. If you believe content is inaccurate, email contact@gicra.com with supporting evidence.
Use of Automation
We may use editorial tools to assist with drafting or layout. All published content is reviewed by human editors for accuracy, clarity, and compliance with our standards.
