BlackBerry Smartphone Drop Testing
Mobile Viewing
Another video in our series of BlackBerry smartphone durability testing, this test showcases a BlackBerry smartphone being dropped in slow motion. You can see how the shock is absorbed through the body of the phone, which remains operational.
BlackBerry Smartphone Bend Testing
Part of a series of BlackBerry smartphone durability testing, this video illustrates a “Bend and Flex” test designed to illustrate how BlackBerry smartphones have been designed to withstand a level of bending. For example, sitting on a phone that you’ve left in your back pocket will cause it to flex in this manner.
