LG Mobile Phones can Withstand 250-meter Drop and Even More

Most mobile phone users tend to pay attention to design, functionality, interface, display type and resolution, high-end camera and do not care about a very important property as durability of the mobile device. More often that users handle their mobile phones roughly and that is why one day the phone may start malfunctioning or stop working at all. However, there are mobile phones able to withstand many things, and LG phones can serve as a vivid example of it.
You are going to read a few real stories about LG mobile phones that survived improper use.
LG EnV: 250-meter Drop
In April of 2009 LG has received a thank-you letter sent by Oscar L. Rodriguez who lives in North Carolina. Oscar’s mobile phone slipped out of its jacket when the man was practicing parachuting. LG EnV (LG VX9800) fell from a 250-meter height and ended the flight on the ground. The case of the mobile phone was not damaged and the device worked perfectly.
EnV is one of the LG messaging mobile phones with QWERTY keyboard. Eight millions of the devices have been sold in the USA only, and lately LG launched 2 more EnV models: EnV Touch (LG VX11000) and EnV3 (LG VX9200).
LG TU550 and LG Renoir Survived Severe Treatment
A farm caught fire. Naturally, the LG TU550 mobile device fused but retained such functions as calling and taking pictures. Another LG TU500 has a different story: it was lost in the dessert and found in working condition a year later.
LG Renoir with an 8 MP camera and LG ARENA featuring S-class UI survived “wine bathing” and running over by a car during testing performed by the team of the Russian Mobile.mail.ru web portal and got the highest marks. By the way, the two mobile devices turned out to be fail-safer than iPhone, Nokia XpressMusic 5800, and HTC Touch Diamond.
Strict Standards as Guarantee of High Quality
Durability of LG mobile phones is conditioned from strict quality standards common to all devices manufactured in the company. Every new device undergoes many tests ensuring their reliability and high operability of inner components without sacrificing sound quality, design, and battery life.
