Protocol performance, antenna and receiver sensitivity, user experience and voice quality are among the 3,360 tests performed on each phone, which take a team 1,068 hours to perform.

This included 68 hours of driving handsets around the country to test service on Telstra’s network.

During testing 4,500 voice calls are made, 530 GB of data is transferred on the road and a further 1.1TB in the labs, pictured below.
