LG G6 Teardown: See what's inside

LG G6 Teardown http://www.mobilegeeks.com During our tour, for example, we saw the G6’s battery punctured with a very sharp nail. It survived. In other words, you don’t have to worry if your phone accidentally gets skewered with a sharp object once it leaves the lab — it’ll be perfectly safe and will not set on fire or inflate like a balloon.
We went to the Pyeongtaek Factory where LG makes it’s Smartphones, we got to see the V20 in production and they expect the G6 will take its place shortly after the launch. It’s also where the reliability and durability test occur. We saw a variety of tests including the famous sit test where the butt exerts force onto the Smartphone.

The battery test was very interesting we saw very cool things like batteries in resin where they got to take cross sections to analyses the molecular composition of o the battery. Videos were shown of failing batteries, none of which were from LG and the tests themselves were anticlimactic because a non failing battery simply falls with no consequence.

LG also tests the battery’s response to extreme temperatures. The battery is even set on fire in a pit. If it explodes outside of the pit, it’s deemed unsafe.

The head of LGs battery testing lab founded the lab 10 years ago and has since enjoyed a new spotlight of intensed importance with Samsung’s fiasco with the Note 7.

The reliability and durability lab seems very standard as far as these kind of lab go, drops on different types of surfaces, tumble test, and temperature variations are all go for par. We found it interesting that LG has such a strong focus on making a their phone incredibly reliable.
