First impressions
The 2024 OPPO A3 is marketed as “military-grade,” which normally refers to the phone meeting certain durability and ruggedness criteria, primarily based on the MIL-STD-810G certification. This certification is very advantageous for the phone.
The United States military developed a battery of rigorous tests to assess the resistance of devices that have received this certification.
The capacity to tolerate drops and collisions is referred to as shock and vibration. Operating in conditions that are both hot and cold is an example of temperature extremes. The resistance to moisture, water splashes, and humid environments is referred to as humidity and rain resistance.
Dust and sand provide defense against potential exposure to dust and sand particles.
The ability to function at high elevations and under varied pressures is referred to as altitude and pressure capability.
Despite the fact that certain smartphones are constructed with reinforced constructions, shock-absorbing materials, and water-resistant seals in order to meet or exceed these military-grade specifications, not all phones that are promoted as “rugged” or “durable” reach full compliance with MIL-STD-810G.
