August 13, Android developers can now test their applications on the latest generation of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold / Flip 4 folding phones, even if they do not have these two phones in hand, it does not matter, because now Samsung has added these two phones to its Remote Test Lab (Remote Test Lab) among.
Samsung’s Remote Test Lab program allows app developers to test and fine-tune their upcoming apps on Galaxy devices connected to the cloud in order to get a realistic picture of how the app will run on the phone (e.g., how the app scales, changes, etc. once the folded phone is folded), which is much better than using virtual software or emulators, and also allows them to test their apps with hardware-oriented features such as Flex Mode and App Continuity.
The Remote Test Lab is free, and all that is required to use the service is a free Samsung developer account, a reliable Internet connection, and Java Runtime Environment 7 or higher with Java Web Start installed. Samsung offers each user 20 points per day, which can be redeemed for five hours of remote access to cloud-based mobile hardware each day.
In addition to remotely installing test applications, developers can take screenshots, record audio, and test automation scripts, as well as choose which language to use to test their devices. Remote Test Lab also supports sharing screens with other developers, making it easy for multiple developers to test together.
Remote Test Lab does not support testing hardware peripherals, nor can it test calling and texting features.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 phones are currently available in Samsung remote test labs in Brazil, South Korea, Poland, Russia and the UK, and can be accessed from anywhere in the world, with some regions requiring a queue to test with both phones.
