Last week we echoed a video in which the Samsung Galaxy Gear "" the smart watch of the South Korean firm "" was exposed to a series of endurance tests that culminated in a savagery: nothing less than a shot fired with a combat rifle. Logically, the device could not withstand such a dumb exam, although it got a good grade when the tests corresponded to situations that could well occur in a daily environment. However, today, after knowing how the Asian manufacturer manages to verify the reliability of its devices, the test that the Galaxy Gear was subjected to does not seem so crazy .
And it is that the boys of the North American means CNET have sneaked into the secret laboratories in which Samsung conducts tests with its mobile terminals and electrical appliances. And what they saw was to put their hands to their heads. For if bundling shot against the smart watch seems unconscionable for users who give real use to the team, no less extreme may seem that you are applying electric shocks to one of the company smartphones. Because yes: during the tour that CNET took in the Samsung laboratories, he got to see howthey used one of those stun guns on a mobile terminal. But not only that.
In addition, he witnessed how they scratch the screens to check the resistance index to possible scratches, something that does fall within the margins of what is reasonable. What is surprising is how they manage to see how the tablets in the house behave. The reporter of the aforementioned media was able to warn how the tablets are subjected to drop tests that are carried out one meter from the ground against metal plates, both from the front and against the edges. And this, to top it all, in cycles of about 300 repetitions until it is noticed that the device is not disassembled and that it continues to work, taking note of the way in which the damage is perceived to reinforce the affected areas.
The tests continue, and they even subject the phones to sessions in refrigerated, wet cameras that emulate rain on the terminals and even to intensive sessions that exhaust the mechanical controls of the mobiles. Regarding the latter, from CNET they confirm that one of the teams was introduced into a machine that served to quickly and repeatedly press the start button of the smartphone, registering about 200,000 hits. The objective of all this, they assured from Samsung, is to guarantee the correct operation of their phones for about three years in any of these conditions.
In total, Samsung undergoes some 7,000 resistance tests of different types to its mobiles, always with a view that when a device leaves the company's factories it reaches the user's hands, reducing the probability of failures derived from knocks, falling water or possible inclement weather.
