Internet Remembers The Indestructible Nokia 3310 Which Was Released 21 Years Ago Today
It was Nokia 3310 which got the most attention from users. Not because it had any different features but because it was deemed as indestructible by users. No matter how many times the phone fell or slipped from your hands, it worked as good as new.
Much before smartphones with touchscreens took over the world people used the Nokia phones with all those buttons that we actually got to press. They came with tiny rectangular screens and were best known for being ¡®indestructible', something none of the smartphone users is aware of anymore.
We all know how costly and complicated smartphones break in seconds and take tons of money to get repaired.

These days, when your phone falls, you'll be worried about the screen. Those days, when your Nokia 3310 falls, you'll be worried about the floor. It was called the Earth Crasher. ?

I loved how tough his phone was. You could just stick it in your pocket with your keys and your change, and it was always fine.

Nokia's ¡®indestructible¡¯ 3310 sold 126 million units worldwide. It is the phone that came with the Snake game. Even if the phone fell, the front and back panels separated and the battery came out, you could just put it back together and it would be as good as before.
Nokia released a revamped version of the same in 2018 which had 4G internet connectivity.
