Pro Tech Village helps people in India choose phones by combining a phone specification database, a chipset database with our own scores, and news about launches and leaks. This page explains how that content is made, checked and corrected, so you can decide how much to trust it.
Who is behind the site
Pro Tech Village is run by the team behind the Pro Tech Village channel on YouTube, where we review and explain phones. Articles name the editor who wrote or reviewed them, and each editor has a profile page describing their background and linking to where else they publish.
Phone specifications
- Sources. Specifications are compiled from manufacturer announcements, official product pages and public specification databases.
- Review before publishing. New and changed phone records go into a review queue in our admin and are published only after an editor approves them. Nothing collected automatically goes live on its own.
- What we don't claim. A specification page is not a review. We do not say we have tested a phone unless we actually have, and pros and cons on spec pages are derived from the specifications themselves, not from hands-on use.
- India first. Where a phone has an official Indian price, we show it. Where it does not, we say so instead of converting a foreign price.
Chipset scores
Our Score is calculated from published AnTuTu and Geekbench results by a fixed formula. The formula, its weights, every past version and a worked example are all public on our chipset score methodology page. When we change the formula we publish a new version rather than silently rewriting old scores.
News and analysis
- Confirmed vs. rumoured. We say clearly whether something is officially announced, seen in a certification or regulatory listing, or still a leak or rumour.
- Sources. We link to primary sources, such as official announcements and certification listings, wherever they exist. When a story builds on another publication's original reporting, we credit it. When a publication only passed on someone else's leak or announcement, we credit the original source instead, and if we could not check that source ourselves, we say where we read it.
- Our own data. Specifications and chipset figures mentioned in articles are checked against our own database and linked to the relevant phone and chipset pages.
- Headlines describe what actually happened. We don't write headlines that the article cannot back up.
How we use AI
AI helps us draft, a person decides what is published
Some news drafts are prepared with the help of AI tools. Every draft is saved as unpublished, then checked against its sources, edited and published by a named editor, who is credited on the article. AI is never allowed to publish anything on its own, and it does not write our chipset scores or approve specification data.Independence, ads and affiliate links
The site is funded by advertising and by affiliate links to retailers. Neither affects specifications, chipset scores, rankings or what we write. Paid placements are labelled "Sponsored". See our disclaimer and affiliate disclosure for details.
Corrections and updates
When we get something wrong, we fix it. If you spot an error in a specification, a score or an article, tell us what looks wrong and, if you can, where the correct figure comes from. We review every report and update the page once a correction is confirmed.
