I also think this these machines are huge investments and they can really help engineers to tune the designs, so why waste the money?!! of course i'm sure other big names have pretty much some sort of the same setup in their labs.

R&D is different from operational QC, it is impossible to do all these tests even at batch levels by any maker in the globe and it is not needed as well. Many of the components are already proven stuff, only those few new features, new major components such as radio, SoC, sensors to be tested in these labs for certification.

              Anonymous, 25 Dec 2018Lemme hear those guys who love to say "Cheap Chinese Quality". They're still one of the many Chinese cheats who steal intellectual property, research, marketing and design from others (American, Korean, Japanese companies) and don't claim responsibility largely because their controversial government shields them from any lawsuit.

                No battery safety tests?

Nova 4 is on the same level as Honor V20, both high-midrangers, and Nova 4 has regular SD slot. The situation is quite confusing momentarily.

                                    SpiritWolf, 25 Dec 2018There's no need for extra device. Whole Android OS is buggi... moreIt's not android, because the risk would be eliminated if you used a custom rom with no gapps. But the bug is in the firmware itself, a critical compenent required for the device to function properly

                                      I use Honor 10, Nova 3, Honor Play. All of them exceed expectations wrt overall parameters in performance, quality of construction, software, it's value for money in terms of specs...I know Let L1s still being used (rather abused) for more than 3 years yet no sign of battery issue, screen issue, performance issues (running Android 6.0) ...very very difficult to dismiss them with cheap remarks imho

                                        testing images is only for masses who want to believe this.
