Help what to test in a new phone

[louis2008]

I asked the salesman, he didn't answer directly

He suggested me only look carefully for any scratch but this is not important to me.

what should I test in addition to scratch?

bluetooth? camera? how to test the camera? how to know if the camera takes pictures correctly without defect?

I do not have bluetooth headset, how to check if it connects correctly

Anything else I have to test ??

Thank you1

If you're buying new, the phone should be perfect, no defects. To test Bluetooth, you'll need a Bluetooth device of course, like a headset or something.

At least you can make sure that all physical buttons work correctly, the battery charges when connected, touch screen works flawlessly.

Other things aren't complicated to test but I double that you would have enough of time to test all of them. Moreover, when you buy a brand-new phone you usually have to pay before you can start and setup the phone.

Go to phonearena.com and look up your phone's spec's

Hello, I've already bought it home, the fact is that they provides 7 day replace new so I dont' have to rush to test everything in their place

However, strangely, they didn't require me to pay before they unsealed the box, and only required me to pay after I finish my first test.

They should be highly reputed, however, I have some doubts

I would test its ability to connect to Bluetooth and WiFi before your exchange period is up. I once got a brand new phone from a Verizon store that refused to connect to anything via Bluetooth even after two hard resets. When I went return it the sales guy just thought I was "some dumb old guy" but couldn't connect it to anything either! Needless to say I left with a replacement that I verified could connect to my car before I left.

for me, BLUE TOOTH

or it is a piece of junk

then, will it connect to a flaky WiFi and continue to hold that connection witout dropping out?

motels have the worst WiFi routers ever invented, and not may laptops can stay connected w/o dropping out

this POS laptop sure won't and it is an ASUS TP-500L running Linux

You really SHOULD update your phone to the latest firmware and see if there will be any problems within your return policy. I regret that I didn't do it with my S5 because my phone is struggling right now due probably faulty firmware update.
