BEIJING, China – Before they’re released to the world, Nokia phones undergo some rather stiff testing to see if they’ll stand up to the wear and tear of everyday life. After the break, you’ll see the heartbreaking sight of a pair of Nokia N8s undergoing the infamous drop test, simulating your phone falling from the height of your shirt pocket onto a hard surface dozens of times.
Checkout the video below of the new Nokia N8 undergoing the infamous drop test.
The Nokia blog also reports that in addition to the drop test, there’s more than 200 other endurance tests that we put new models through to see if they pass muster.
It is no doubt that the Nokia handsets have very high build quality but symbian OS isn’t good enough to compete with android or iOS.
Its not a drop test, the phone is in contact
with the side walls providing friction.
A real life drop would from a table onto a hard
tiled surface floor.
