They put the durability of the legendary Nokia 3310 to the test and the result leaves everyone speechless.

There are few mobile phones more legendary than the Nokia 3310. In an era where smartphones didn't exist, this model was one of the most popular and widely used phones during the 2000s, selling more than 126 million units.

At that time, the tools and features of all mobile phones were quite limited , and there's no comparison to what smartphones can do today. However, this Nokia phone made an unprecedented impact on our society, making it a benchmark of sorts, even 25 years after its launch.

The popularity of this model is due to several factors. For example, it offered a long battery life, which was a major advantage compared to other phones of the time. It was also because it was priced affordably, but this model undoubtedly caught the eye, and continues to do so thanks to its durability and resilience.

The Nokia 3310 is still synonymous with toughness and durability among electronic devices. However, although the development of phones has improved in every conceivable aspect, when it comes to robustness, new generations of mobile phones have plummeted.

For that same reason , everyone now carries protective cases , and even then, if we drop it on the floor, not only can the screen crack, it can even break completely, and we're talking about phones that are worth five times (at least) what a Nokia 3310 was worth.

That's why in a video that has gone viral on social media, a user has put the Nokia 3310's durability to the test , throwing it not only against the ground, but also against objects or having objects fall on it, and the result is leaving a lot to talk about as to why today's phones aren't even half as durable.

First, he throws the phone at a bear trap. Although it doesn't activate, he escapes unharmed. Had it been a modern smartphone, it would likely have been scratched at the very least. Then he throws it at a drone's propellers, which break, and he escapes unharmed.

Next, they throw a spiked ball at him; it bounces, but nothing happens to the Nokia. They even throw it at someone's face (who has agreed to do it), and he's definitely the one who comes out the worst.

Finally, they throw this phone at the bear trap again, and this time it really catches on, completely crushing the phone. While the video itself isn't particularly valuable and is more entertaining than anything else, it certainly highlights how users have lost out in this regard and how the industry, despite being able to make more durable devices, doesn't do so in the hopes of getting us to keep buying them.
