So Now Smartphones are Certified For Fluency too 😵‍💫

For those curious, this certification was provided by TUV SUD and the testing involved rapidly sending, taking and processing thousands of messages, photos, files and apps, to simulate years of use in a short time period. Performance metrics are then taken before and after to see how well the phone holds up.

But if the smartphone stutters anytime, then the performance will be affected and thus it will NOT be fluid anymore. So people can sue OnePlus in court then? And what if OnePlus will then likely defend themselves by asking user to "format data"? lol

In short, useless certification for marketing or just for fake hype
