We’ve recently added a handful of devices to our hardware labs; nothing particularly surprising, but still worth mentioning:
- An iPhone 11 running iOS 13 (this is the base iPhone 11 model) We’ve got the iPhone 11—the regular one. Lots of people have it, so it’s kind of like our baseline. This phone packs an A13 Bionic chip for smooth performance and comes in 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB storage options. It features a vibrant 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD LCD display and a dual-lens rear camera system with wide and ultrawide capabilities. You’ll also find a 12MP TrueDepth front camera for selfies and Face ID. The impressive battery life offers up to 17 hours of video playback.
- An iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 13 (this is the extra-large Pro model) The bigger brother to the iPhone 11, the Pro Max boasts a stunning 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with superior resolution and contrast. It maintains the powerful A13 Bionic chip and storage options but upgrades the camera system to a triple-lens setup with wide, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses for enhanced versatility. Battery life is even better here, lasting up to 20 hours for video playback.
- A Samsung Galaxy S9 phone running Android 9.0 (this just rounds out our Samsung inventory a bit, since we’ve had a 9+ for a while). Moving on to Android, we’ve got the Samsung Galaxy S9. It’s been around for a bit, but plenty of folks still rock it. This phone offers a comfortable 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display and a reliable single 12MP rear camera. It has 4GB of RAM and comes with either 64GB or 128GB of storage, which can be expanded with a microSD card. Depending on the region, the processor is either a Samsung Exynos 9810 or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. The battery capacity is 3000mAh, and the operating system is Android 9.0, which can be upgraded to Android 10.
- A Samsung Galaxy S10 running Android 9 (this is the base phone model) And last but not least, we’ve got the Samsung Galaxy S10. This phone steps up the display game with a larger 6.1-inch Super AMOLED screen with even higher resolution. The camera system gets a boost, too, featuring a dual-lens rear setup with wide and telephoto lenses. It offers 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, again expandable with a microSD card. The processor is either a Samsung Exynos 9820 or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, and the battery capacity is 3400mAh. The operating system is Android 9.0 but can be upgraded to the latest Android 12.
These mobile devices provide us with a solid base of current-generation Apple phones. Additionally, they allow us to keep up with some of the more popular (and requested) Android devices. No new tablets this time around, but they are on the list.
Let us know if there are any specific mobile devices that you are especially interested in having available for compatibility testing, or contact us if you would like any additional information regarding our QA labs and capabilities. We may not always take requests, but we are definitely interested in input on your quality assurance hardware needs!
