Video Shows Affordable Bluboo Maya Max Boasting the Same ‘Superior’ Quality as the iPhone 7 Plus

The engineers at Bluboo Mobile sure had their work cut out for them as the company’s would-be flagship Bluboo Maya Max entered the drawing board. After all, the idea was to deliver a device that not only would boast state-of-the-art specs and features, but also a superior build quality that could competently take on the qualify offered by bigger brands such as Apple or Samsung.

As a relative newcomer to the smartphone market, it was important that the company could timely convince potential buyers that the Maya Max is a reliable device that can withstand even the worst of rough handling. And as the video below shows, the company seems to have done a pretty neat job in ensuring that the device indeed has a tough body and superior build quality.

A YouTube video recently released by Bluboo Mobile shows the Maya Max going through a series of extensive tests to prove its worth to future buyers.

The tests included:

1. Micro-drop test: Dropping the device from up to 10cm height for 5,000 times
2. Soft squeeze test: Exposing the device to low to mild ‘squeezing’ pressure for 2,000 times
3. Physical buttons test: Pressing the physical buttons with mechanical arms for 100,000 times.
4. USB-C plug port quality test: Repeat insertion of USB cable into the port for 5,000 times
5. Earphone port test: Same as above
6. Rolling drop test: Continuous rolling drop tests from varying heights using roller drop tech machine
7. Salt for corrosion test: To check corrosion resistance of the material used
8. Globule impact test: Dropping small balls of varying masses on the device from varying heights

As the test video claims, the device qualified each test without fail.
