Wherever electronics such as smartphones are involved, there's always a chance of malfunction or error. One of the critical components of an Android smartphone, i.e., a touch screen, can experience dead pixels, dead touch zones, pressure sensitivity problems, and more.
Some Android devices might have built-in diagnostic tools, but not all are capable enough to diagnose the fault. Here we have discussed the top 2 applications for Android screen test that will help you assess your Android's touchscreen overall performance and condition.
Touch Screen Test is a simple yet effective application that will help you examine your smartphone's touchscreen in no time. All you need to start is download and install the application from the PlayStore and start the test after launching the application on your Android device.
First, you can draw all over the screen to find the dead touch areas; if the area turns green, it will ensure that the touchscreen works correctly in that area. If any grid or area does not turn green, there might be some issues with the touch sensitivity.
Note: The application will test the touchscreen capabilities; hence, you cannot navigate properly with your fingers through the menus in the application. You can use the Volume Up button for this purpose.

Do you want to test the phone's display before buying a used Android smartphone? Screen Test Pro has covered your needs with its state-of-the-art technology, which can test the screen's color performance, dead zones, faulty pixels, saturation, and even white balance. The list doesn't end here, as it can also examine the white balance of the Android's touchscreen.
Start by choosing the test that you wish to proceed with from the main menu of the Screen Test Pro application. For example, you can tap on Multi-touch Test, and it will examine your screen against multi-finger detection. Moreover, you can run the pressure test, which shows the values of 0 and 1 depending on the soft and hard touch. A pixel counter tool will also test the screen against the smoothness during transitions.

Even if you plan to purchase your tablet online, it's a good idea to head out to your local Apple store or other electronics retailer to get a closer look at the tablets you're considering. Before you go, give some thought to the tablet size you're looking for, if you haven't already.
Do you want the largest screen possible, or do you want a tablet that easily slips into your purse or backpack? Do you need something a little bit rugged that you can take into the field for work, or do you want a tablet that's as thin and light as can be? Will it be used only by adults, or will you want to let your 3-year-old use it to learn her letters?

You may already have an idea as to whether you want the biggest, the smallest or something in between, but there's really no substitute for getting your hands on the tablet to see how it feels. Tablet screens range in size from 7 inches to about 10 inches, and weights vary from slightly less than 1 pound to more than 2.5 pounds, but chances are one of the models you hold will just feel "right" to you.
Do the case and the controls feel comfortable and sturdy in your hands? Is the touch screen responsive? How's the virtual keyboard? If possible, look at a few models next to one another to see how their screen brightness and resolutions compare. Once you've settled on a favorite, or at least narrowed it down to a few, there's still one very important aspect to look at before you buy. We'll discuss that next.
