- C: (Good). The display has noticeable imperfections, including visible dead pixels, yellowing, or ghosting, which are clearly visible. These blemishes impact the viewing experience but do not make the display unusable.
Device Functional Evaluation (WebApp)
Digitizer
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: This test evaluates the screen's touch responsiveness and ensures that all parts of the screen accurately detect touch inputs.
Speaker
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: The speaker test determines whether the speaker is functioning or not.
Microphone
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: The microphone test determines whether the speaker is functioning or not.
Back Cameras
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: The back camera test evaluates its ability to focus on various objects within a store, house.
Front Cameras
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: The front camera test assesses its ability to focus on a face.
Gyroscope
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: This test checks the component that controls the device's orientation and rotation. Gyroscopes are commonly used in mobile devices for various purposes such as gaming, navigation etc.
Multitouch
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: This test checks the component responsible for multitouch functionality in the device. Multitouch functionality on mobile devices enhances user interaction, enabling intuitive gestures, faster typing, etc.
Unlock Sensor
Grades: Working, Faulty Definition: The test assesses the functionality of Touch ID and Face ID, whether it's working or not.
Battery Class (for iOS only)
Grades: Class A: ≥ 94%, Class B: 93%-86% and Class C: ≤ 85% Definition: Pandas developed an algorithm to classify iOS device batteries into three classes: A (≥94%), B (93%-86%), and C (≤85%). It follows manufacturer instructions stating a normal battery retains up to 80% of capacity after 500 charge cycles. By considering the activation date, the algorithm determines the device's possible battery health and assigns it to one of the mentioned classes.
