Phone Farm Hardware FAQ

Standard 2U 20-node chassis typically measures 21.26 × 14.37 × 7.28 in (540 × 365 × 185 mm) and ships at roughly 13 lb (6 kg) before devices. Confirm on your quote — custom racks differ.

Standard PhoneFarm Fun chassis accepts 110V–220V AC universal input. We supply a region-appropriate power cable for your destination country. Confirm local plug type on the contact form before assembly.

Centralized PSU is rated 450–550W. Typical continuous draw at full 20-node load is roughly 280–380W depending on SoC tier (Exynos entry vs Snapdragon pro) and whether devices run screen-on tests vs headless automation. We recommend a dedicated 10–16A circuit per box with stable lab cooling below 30°C ambient.

Each unit is burn-in tested, then foam-lined inside an export plywood crate with slot labels and a QC checklist. Commercial invoice and export documentation are included for customs. Express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS) or sea freight is arranged from Guangzhou — see /shipping for reference freight.

Each 20-node box connects to your control PC through one upstream USB3 port (or Ethernet ADB path on supported builds). Most teams run one box per PC for stable bandwidth. Two boxes on one workstation are possible with a powered USB3 hub and a strong CPU — contact sales with your node count for a recommended hub and PC spec. Larger labs use one PC per chassis or network-segmented ADB hosts.

Yes. After configuration is confirmed and burn-in completes, we can provide pre-shipment photos or a short factory video of your assembled chassis on request — ask on the contact form or via Telegram/WhatsApp before production starts. Catalog images are representative; your order is built to your device list.

In-stock standard configurations ship in 3–5 business days. Custom rack projects are typically 2–4 weeks after quote approval. Express international delivery adds 3–7 days; sea freight 15–30 days.

A standard 2U phone farm box is a factory chassis with centralized PSU, active cooling, and labeled USB backplane — sized for 20 nodes and rack-friendly mounting. Desk setups scatter phones on chargers with no engineered airflow or power budget. For 40+ nodes, we quote custom rackmount cabinets with engineered PDU, cooling, and cable paths. See /products/custom-cabinet and /blog/rackmount-2u-phone-farm-rack-buyer-guide.

Phone farm equipment is the broad category — chassis, devices, PSU, cooling, USB hubs, and network gear. A phone farm box is a complete factory-built 2U unit housing up to 20 real Android devices with integrated power and cooling. Accessories (USB hub, PSU module, cooling kit) are sold separately for expansion or spare inventory.

An Android device farm is a rack or chassis of real smartphones organized with centralized power, cooling, and USB routing for scaled mobile QA — app testing, compatibility checks, and device automation workflows. PhoneFarm Fun builds the industrial hardware layer.

A phone farm box is a factory-built chassis housing multiple real Android devices (typically 20 nodes per 2U unit) with centralized power supply, active cooling, and managed USB connectivity. It replaces scattered chargers and cables with one lab-ready unit.

A motherboard cluster uses Android motherboards without screens or batteries to increase node density and reduce footprint. Each node runs Android with USB debugging enabled — suited for headless app QA where display output is not required.

Real device farms use physical Android hardware under your control with genuine sensors and hardware behavior. Cloud phones are virtual instances on shared infrastructure. For app QA and compatibility testing on real silicon, physical device labs provide more accurate results.

Emulators simulate Android in software on a PC. Real device farms use actual hardware for testing that reflects real-world performance, sensors, and OS behavior. Many QA teams use both — emulators for fast iteration and real devices for release validation.

Android-focused farms use our standard 20-node chassis with ADB and USB hub routing. Multi-device lab racks use the same hardware layout configured for customer-supplied phones when teams need mixed-platform QA. PhoneFarm Fun supplies the chassis — devices are provided by the customer unless otherwise quoted.

Standard PhoneFarm Fun boxes support 20 nodes per 2U chassis. Custom rack and cabinet projects can scale to 40, 60, or more nodes with engineered power and cooling — quoted per project.

Yes. We configure node count, chassis layout, power rails, cooling paths, and rack integration based on your device list and lab requirements. Share target Android version and preferred device models on the contact form.

Hardware ROI depends on your workflow — app QA contracts, automation services, content operations, and B2B lab deployments all use real-device hardware differently. PhoneFarm Fun supplies the chassis and factory support; we do not sell cloud subscriptions or income guarantees. Most buyers purchase hardware for testing, automation, or scalable device lab operations.

Group control means organizing devices into batches for synchronized commands — install APKs, run test suites, or mirror screens by group. Hardware provides USB/ADB paths; your software or our optional setup service configures grouping on the control PC.

Yes. E-commerce teams test seller apps, payment SDKs, and regional builds on real devices representing different Android versions. Physical labs catch OEM-specific issues that emulators miss before production releases.

Our chassis ships ADB-ready for any standard Android lab toolchain — your CI scripts, test runners, or third-party device management platforms. We optionally configure remote workstations and batch grouping after delivery. We do not lock you into proprietary control software.

We configure boxes for Galaxy S8–S21 FE, Note series, Z Flip, OnePlus, Pixel, and other Android models with USB+LAN+OTG routing. Share your target model list on the contact form — we confirm tray spacing and port layout before assembly.

Android farms use our standard 20-node chassis with ADB automation. iPhone lab hardware requires different tray and power design — we quote iPhone-specific chassis separately. Most QA automation buyers start with Android; iOS labs are scoped per project.

Connect the chassis USB hub to your control PC, confirm all serials with adb devices, then loop adb install across serials or use your CI runner. See our bulk APK deployment guide for step-by-step commands and best practices.

A command center is a single-screen view to mirror devices, organize batches by project, push APKs in bulk, and monitor node health — typically built from ADB tools plus optional setup service. PhoneFarm Fun supplies the hardware layer; software remains your choice.

Match silicon to your workload: Exynos 7420 / Android 7 entry tiers for budget pilots; Snapdragon 835 (S8+ class) for efficient 24/7 runs; Snapdragon 845–855 (S9+/S10+ class) for heavier QA and dev labs. Share your app list and we recommend a SKU.

Use factory chassis with centralized PSU and active cooling — not desk chargers. Keep ambient lab temperature reasonable, clean fan intakes, replace worn USB cables, and run a 24-hour burn-in before production workloads. Our boxes are burn-in tested before export.

Choose the entry N5/Exynos starter ($428–517 class) for first lab pilots and light automation. Choose the S8+ Snapdragon 835 cluster ($699 class) when you need enhanced cooling and 24/7 stability for heavier parallel workloads.

Yes. Our Exynos N5 entry 20-node configuration starts at $428 USD reference pricing for the chassis tier — plus shipping and any device configuration fees. See the cheap phone farm setup guide on our blog for a full budget checklist.

Both use Snapdragon 845 class silicon. N9 Professional ($998 reference tier) optimizes for multi-app automation and mobile farms workflows. S9+ ($942) targets heavy QA with 128GB storage class. Contact sales with your app list — we confirm exact device payload before assembly.

S8 Reliable ($620) uses Galaxy S8 class Snapdragon 835 with standard factory cooling — best value stable 835 tier. S8+ cluster ($699) adds enhanced ducted cooling and enterprise PSU layout for hotter ambient labs and heavier 24/7 loads.

Hardware ships ADB-ready for your existing toolchain. Optional remote workstation setup configures grouping, mirroring, and batch APK workflows using vendor-neutral tools — we do not bundle proprietary lock-in dashboards.

Batch device automation hardware is industrial chassis running many real Android devices for scripted automation — app testing, batch installs, and parallel operations via ADB. PhoneFarm Fun supplies 20-node 2U units with centralized power, cooling, and USB routing — not cloud bots or emulator farms.

A mobile farms solution combines factory-built phone farm hardware with optional remote workstation setup for batch control across dozens of Android devices. PhoneFarm Fun provides the mobile farms chassis layer from Guangzhou; software remains vendor-neutral ADB tooling or your CI stack.
