HOW IT'S MADE: Smartphones
When a company decides to make a new model, they already have an old model and a lot of previous research, so they don't have to start from scratch. Of course, I assume we already know this for a matter of fact, If not you're just on the right video.

All they have to do is fine-tune the old model through the feedback of users or experts in this area, while at the same time inserting new trends and technologies. All the shortcomings of the previous model are dealt with, and new innovations inject technology into the latter model.
Step 1: Making of Prototype

Ideas are devised in the boardroom, after considering various options, confirmation is passed to the R & D lab. The research team starts with a prototype where aesthetics must be considered first and is not really working.

This model is passed on to stakeholders who can comment on making changes as needed. After the appearance of the model is zeroed, the internal working kit of the handset is processed.

Then the reins of this vehicle are then handed over to the electronics team. Therefore, it is here that the processor and memory, and other specifications of the handset are determined.

Next, a matching display screen and the required battery potential are selected. Of course, don't miss the front and rear cameras. The device is then armed with the selected components and checked for operational performance.

After this, if the decision team is reasonably happy with the work, the handset will be handed to the top for approval.

FACT CHECK: Most of the world’s smartphone manufacturing today is being done in China.

Step 2: Software Installation

The software team will now intervene to bring mobile phones to life. This is basically pre-determined by the operating system loaded on the phone. The hardware that the electronics team plays is most important to be compatible for the smooth functioning of the operating system.

To be precise many experts use their own methods to verify that the system is working as expected. The selected design loaded with hardware and software is ready for mass production. At this point, it is often difficult to go back and modify the already approved working prototype.

Step 3: Testing Phase

Before production begins, the handset is rigorously tested for quality, performance and other parameters. They have been tested from both a hardware and software perspective. We carry out various tests such as drop tests, bending tests, and water quality tests to confirm their performance.

Step 4: Mass Production

When the final prototype is ready, it's time for mass production. Internal components can be manufactured in-house or outsourced.

In most cases, this information on new models launched by the company has been leaked to the public, and this can be both useful or not. It is convenient because it promotes and promotes "scheduled release" mobile phones.

And this is a drawback because it gives critics the opportunity to spot the flaws in models that haven't been produced yet and drop their ratings.

Started mass production of quality-passed models. This can be done at the manufacturer's own factory or outsourced to another manufacturer, also known as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), to manufacture according to the specified quality and standards. Smartphones are also assembled in this process.

Foxconn is one of the leading manufacturers of devices on behalf of top companies such as Apple, Xiaomi, Nintendo and Amazon. There are large manufacturing plants in many countries, the largest in Shenzhen, China.

Besides, if you ever wish to learn how to assemble and disassemble your iPhone and other smartphones you can simply fulfil your wish by attending a mobile phone repair training conducted by the authorised company or an institution.

FACT CHECK: During mass production, smartphones usually are codenamed to avoid the leak of information related to specification and design.

Step 5: Packaging

If the handset passes all the tests, it will be sent to the packaging. The handset is placed in a ready-to-ship box with accessories and user manuals.

Mobile phones arrive at the store in stylish boxes/packages. It is usually manufactured from low-quality recycled cards or cards with inserts made of vacuum-formed high-density polystyrene.

It is a popular card because it is cheap and can be recycled. In addition, colours and images can be applied using a variety of printing techniques. Cards are usually lacquered to give the box a glossy/satin finish.

Usually, the package is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. This means that space can be used to easily and efficiently transport and stack on shelves.

Step 6: Shipment

The final stage of the entire process is shipping. These packaged phones are shipped to distributors, suppliers and retailers around the world, and it is the end customer who receives the mobile phone from these retailers.
