GSMArena labs: EU Energy Label test results are now listed on our specs pages
The EU now requires that all smartphones and tablets sold in the Union have the new Energy Label on their packaging. It also created a database called 'European Product Registry for Energy Labeling' or 'EPREL' for short. That is valuable information and we are now including it in our specs pages to help you research phones before you buy. EU Energy Label info is now included in our specs pages First things first, this is an EU thing so only models sold in the EU have this data. Also, the data is provided by the manufacturers with the tests performed either by the manufacturer itself or by a third-party lab. This means that the data doesn't come from an independent source. That said, any inaccurate info should be updated as soon as it is spotted – the EU will hold manufacturers responsible for providing accurate information and it may use third-party labs to do its own verification. It should also be noted that some makers – the biggest one being Apple – are not happy with how the testing procedures are defined. Cupertino claims that some tests are under-defined or even undefined. You can read more about that here. The European Commission will take input from manufacturers and may update the testing procedures in the future. To help you better understand what all these numbers and letters mean, we have updated our Glossary with explanations and details on the key info listed on the label. Start here: EU Energy Label. Then, you can get into the more detailed articles on energy efficiency class, battery endurance (both endurance on a single charge and longevity in terms of charge cycles), screen protection (measured as hardness on the Mohs scale), repairability and free fall repairability (the latter focuses on functional damage over cosmetics when a device is dropped). You can find the EU Energy Label info for phones and tablets (where available) listed at the bottom of the specs table under the 'EU Label' heading.

Realme Note 70T's EU Energy Label confirms some of its specs
Realme is readying the release of the Note 70 and Note 70T, which weirdly could share the same model number even though they have different specs. Today, the Note 70T's EU Energy Label has been spotted, and this reveals an A class for energy consumption, and a 65h 25min longevity on one charge. The phone is rated A for drop protection and B for repairability, and its battery can go 1,000 charge cycles before it goes below 80% of its initial capacity, which the label lists as 5,830 mAh rated capacity, which will translate into an advertised typical capacity of 6,000 mAh. The phone is also IP54 certified for dust and splash resistance, and will ship with a case in the box. Realme will provide security patches for the Note 70T for six years from its release. Realme Note 70T EU Energy Label (left) and Quick Guide (right) A 'Quick Guide' for the handset has also surfaced, revealing its screen's waterdrop notch and bottom bezel that's chunkier than the rest. This also confirms its screen size as 6.74", and the aforementioned 6,000 mAh battery capacity, as well as the box contents, which will consist of the phone, a USB cable, a SIM ejector tool, and the case. Past leaks and rumors have claimed the Note 70T is powered by the Unisoc T7250 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The handset has a 50 MP camera on the back and a 16 MP selfie snapper.
