Officially, Pixel 9 Google credited the new design language “is twice as durable as Pixel 8.” A new blog post from the company this week Discusses internal testing process,
The product integrity engineering team is sure that the pixel phone will escape day-to-day wear and tears “. This includes stress, durability and temperature tests and performing. This process is “trying to understand all the scenarios in which a customer is going to use our products.”
“Then we design tests that our design teams have to be repeated and explainable: we are scientifically trying to find out that due to such a result, such as an internal internal The connector is getting loose, so they can design devices that can designed to fix them. “
This is called design Failure mode and impact analysisWith emphasis on practical conditions and tests. Google is not necessarily designed for edge cases that most people will not cope.
“We don’t want to feel that they can do anything with our products, but when something bad happens, it is surprising to surprise them, and yet their phone is saved. The moment when they pick up their phone and do not have a broken performance or camera work – this is where there is happiness. ,
Google shared specific tests include:
- “… a robot arm slide (ING) repeatedly out of a backpack and again to simulate unpacking or packing your bag at the beginning of each day.”
- “… Leave many tablets from low height repeatedly, how to see how they will catch small drops.”
- “… Machine (that) uses a motor to strictly shake the equipment of how they survive.”
For example, “What happens to our phone at 14,000 feet is a high height test to see, because if there is a disorganized aircraft transporting our phone, we do not want them to break them.”
On the temperature front, it is tested to see how “devices live at temperatures ranging from -30ºC (-22) to 75ºC (167ºF).” It translates into real -world scenarios such as “accidentally lev (ING) removes your phone in the sun on a hot summer day, or the subject (ING) turns your pixel into a rapid temperature when you winter winter when you winter Leave your toast home for frigid outdoor. “
Finally, the most interesting part of the piece was about the design margin of a product:
Ajay says, “The most important feedback we provide to the design team is one of them. “For example, we ask,” How much more drops this phone can take? If 90% of the users leave their phone in a certain number in the year, how can we make something that more alive than that more than that Stays?
