Test your mobile phone’s temperature resistant

A test has been performed in Finland, a country which has low temperature in northern. The purpose of the test is to measure the resistance of various mobile phones available today.

There are 15 mobile phones that were tested, including many popular mobile phones like iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, until the phone which is designed to resist extreme conditions.


The temperature test carried out by lowering the environmental temperature from zero degrees to -40 degrees Celsius with a range of 5 degrees. The test will record the time when a phone starts having a trouble and when the phone is completely stopped operating.

From the temperature test we can conclude that at a temperature of zero degrees, all the phone still operate properly. At the temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, Nokia N9s battery start having trouble and the power dropped nearly empty. At these temperatures, iPhone 4S are also having problems with SIM card, and finally stopped completely at a temperature of -10 degrees. Under the -10 degrees temperatures, all the LCD screen started having problems while the AMOLED screen reported to be more resistant.

The test winner was surprising, the Nokia C1-01 and Nokia E65. Both are problematic since temperature began to -15 degrees Celsius, but did not stop to operate until the temperature of -40 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy S II was able to survive as well as Samsung Galaxy Xcover, the phones that are designed to resist the extreme conditions with up to the temperature of -35 degrees Celsius. However Xcover are able to show its quality as an extreme phone, because it is the only phone that can operate without problems until the temperature of -35 degrees Celsius.

Here is the detailed picture of what happened on the 15th the phone is in the temperature test. On the left hand column shows the first time a mobile phone problem, while the temperature displayed on the right side when a cell phone completely stopped operating.
