You should add passive discharge test.
Just charge them up, unplug at 7 AM, no wifi, just cellular data, standart SW, and let them stay on a table (or drive them around). And write down % every 6 hours.
Really hard to find phone with lond stand-by time ((

Please add a GPS/outdoor test with navigation/map loading. Everyone who uses a phone outdoors this is worth more than gaming or surfing the web.

What's the equation used to calculate the active score? I want to know what weightage you give to each of the metric

Page download speed, page display rendering speed and page scrolling smoothness could also be included in the rating as they greatly affect one's browsing efficiency and productivity.

Is there any way to compare the new numbers and the old ones?
For example, I have a phone tested the old way - 110 hours. I want to understand how good will be the new phone compared to it. But the new phone has a new rating 12 hours.
How to understand their comparison?

the old sytem is better...why no indication whatsoever what refresh rate used in web browsing? 60fps like the old system or what refresh rate in new system? what about web browsing?

I think this's the test of interest of manufactured and.... others. Show me anyone watching video on the phone with airplane mode activated... This test is a synthetic measurement which has no relation to real life usage scenario. You'd better keep an old test and don't waste you time and efforts on something useless like a "new" battery test.
The old test is more real and important in real life.

I believe a battery idle test would be of benefit to be closer aligned to actual phone use (overnight battery drain test).
While I know it would add a lot of more time to completing testing, its something worth considering.
