There’s a simple question, and one that you can probably apply to many mobile phones. While the testing sequence for the Nexus One and other high profile devices might be a tad more intensive than what lower end phones go through, it is not hard to imagine that the quality tests for mobile phones are in many ways similar to each other.
Engadget has links to a series of videos that demonstrate the various spec tests that the HTC Nexus One Google phone had to go through before it was approved and declared ready for commercial launch. The tests were designed to determine the limits of each of the device’s different components and how well they function together as a whole. Parts such as buttons are tapped repeatedly, the phones are put to bent, tumble and drop tests to ensure product quality.
Another great video in the news post showed the assembly of the Nexus One. It highlighted the creation of the board, and final assembly details. Both video clips are deeply engrossing to watch and enjoy and they are less than four minutes each.
For those who are not familiar, the Google phone came out early this January in a small event held at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California. The device sports a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a 5 mega pixel camera. It has an impressive new speech to text software that can allow you to easily dictate text messages and even do specific voice commands.
The Nexus One recently got a major software update that fixed several issues with 3G connectivity and added a few extra features such as multi touch, a new Google Maps and the Google Goggles.
