In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for upgrading the plug-in functionality of mobile devices. As customers' product lines expand, their testing requirements have become more stringent. In addition to basic insertion and extraction force tests, modern testers must also handle tasks such as pull force, break force, constant tension, and even more complex and strict standards set by companies like Apple. Many clients often reach out asking for upgrades, but in most cases, these systems cannot be updated due to limitations in the suppliers’ capabilities. Most of these so-called insertion and extraction force testers are just outsourced programs without real development capabilities on the supplier’s side. This makes it essential to analyze the different levels of plug-in testing machines available in the market, helping customers make informed decisions when purchasing, rather than simply focusing on price, which could lead to regret later.
The first-tier plug-in testing machines are typically imported from Japan and Taiwan. These machines are known for their high-quality design, advanced software, and precise test data. They are considered top-of-the-line in terms of accuracy and reliability. However, they come with a high price tag—usually around 100,000 RMB—and the after-sales service costs are also significantly higher compared to domestic options.
The second tier consists of machines developed by mainland Chinese suppliers who have their own development capabilities. These companies started developing their own systems back in 2003 and applied for patents in 2006. Their test data is comparable to that of imported machines, and their ability to customize programs and meet specific customer needs is often better than foreign suppliers. The after-sales support is also faster and more reliable. The only drawback is that their appearance may not match the aesthetics of imported models.
The third tier includes two types of machines. One is a copycat version of the second-tier suppliers, which have only recently imitated the technology. These machines lack refinement in details and have limited customer bases, making them less competitive. The other type is entirely based on outsourcing, with no real development capability. These are often referred to as the "black sheep" of the industry, as they tend to offer poor performance, falsified data, damaged sensors, and restricted access post-purchase. Their prices are much lower—often several thousand to 10,000 RMB less than the second tier—but they fail to meet customer needs over time.
Currently, the second-tier machines hold the largest market share in China. Customers are becoming more discerning, and these machines offer the best value for money. They are cheaper than imported models, provide accurate results, and have strong development capabilities that ensure future upgrades. This makes them the most popular choice among users.
As for the third-tier market, it mainly serves low-end customers or those looking for budget-friendly options. Some products are used for display purposes only, and while some may seem high-quality, they often come at a premium without delivering real value. It's important for buyers to carefully evaluate their needs before making a purchase.
Today, the plug-in testing machine market is quite transparent in pricing. High prices usually mean high quality. Machines priced around 30,000 RMB generally offer good performance, though post-sale support can vary. Many customers who previously trusted these systems now question their reliability. Those who call for upgrades often do so because they've experienced shortcomings in their current setups.
