The SquareTrade, US company world leader in technological equipment protection plans, tested newcomers Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxy Note 5, subjecting them to a series of falls, releases, folding and changes temperature to see if these new flagship phones are stronger than their predecessors. Mentioned tests help the company to fix the values of the plans of protection according to the resistance of the devices.
Notably, the iPhone Plus 6s had a better performance compared to its predecessor, thanks to aluminum series 7000. The SquareTrade Labs results also found that the iPhone 6s results identical to the iPhone 6 and Note 5 had the best performance within the new thermal equipment SquareTrade Thermo Rig. Knowing that the extreme temperatures damage the ability of a mobile phone to hold a full charge. Shortening the life of the equipment, SquareTrade added Thermo Rig to the lineup of first tests.
These new tests simulate common activities that expose them to the mobile elements, such as leaving your phone in a hot car for the day (43 ° C ) or a cold porch one evening in harsh winter (-18 ° C). The tests and the findings can be seen on video, in Portuguese:
The results of SquareTrade damage tests reached the following conclusions:
- Apple and Samsung decided its folding problems. The iPhone Plus 6s and 6s withstood the 81.5 kg pressure and 77kg, respectively – an improvement of 50 to 60 percent flexibility. The Note 5 also supported 77 kg.
- The falls remain a challenge for manufacturers. The fate that befalls over 50% of smartphones continues to be a challenge for Apple and Samsung. Although both producers to invest in new and improved glazing, the three phones set off when thrown to the ground face down.
- Scores of Note 5 were the best in extreme cold. Although the Note 5 have been easier to fall and break up, scored the highest durability in temperature. The zero degrees, Note 5 lasted almost two hours, the iPhone 6s Plus lasted just over an hour, and the iPhone 6s lasted only 30 minutes.
“While Apple argues that iPhones 6s and 6s Plus are the most advanced iPhone ever, yet we have seen that are at the mercy of the most common of all the problems – the accidental fall on a hard surface, “said Jessica Hoffman, vice president of global communications of SquareTrade. “On the other hand, both manufacturers have responded to the” Bendgate “with significant improvements in all three tested devices. This is great news for consumers. ” Concludes the same charge.
The breakability Score (weak score) of SquareTrade fills the gap left by traditional ratings. Through a rigorous set of tests to new mobile phones, SquareTrade gives them a rating. This fragility score is based on a number of factors, from physical characteristics to the results of the drop tests, launch, folding and extreme temperatures SquareTrade.
The higher the score given to a device on a scale of 1-10, the greater the risk of breaking due to an accident. About Square Square Trade Trade is the number one company of technological equipment protection plans, protecting mobile devices such as computers, mobile phones and tablets, as well as other consumer electronic goods subject to breakdowns or accidents.
