    Yay, bonus:

    Alongside the labels the EU is introducing “ecodesign requirements” imposing minimum standards on the same products. Those include protection from splashes of water (and dust particles larger than 1mm for phones), scratch and drop protection, batteries that retain at least 80 percent of their capacity after 800 charging cycles, and making “critical spare parts” available within 5-10 working days. Manufacturers are also required to provide operating system updates within six months of the source code becoming available — a bar that Samsung would have failed to meet with its recent One UI 7 rollout.

    Go EU! 🇪🇺

      What about it is horrible? All the data is well presented?

      The same design or format is already used for energy ratings on all white goods

        The Energy consumption is way less important in a phone than in a washing machine… sure there are billions of them but they consume almost nothing.

        Repairability and updates are in my opinion way more important, and the icons with super tiny letters are super unclear.

        A freaking table would have been better than this stuff…

    Lol that drop icon

    Reads “A drop” or “B dropped”

    And is so expressive I can hear the crack - even though it’s a shock resistance rather than crack-ability.
