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.
