The Nokia phones of yesteryears have long been considered nearly indestructible,
but the new ones aren’t too bad either. A Nokia feature phone is reported to have
recently taken a bullet for its owner – literally – and saved his life.

According to a tweet by Microsoft’s General Manager of Core UX for Windows
Desktop, Tablet and Phone Peter Skillman, a man in Afghanistan was saved
last week after a bullet got stuck in a Nokia phone.Even though the phone is

This, of course, is not the first time in recent years that a Nokia phone achieved
this feat. In 2014, a Nokia Lumia 520 stopped a bullet fired at a Brazilian policeman,
though the handset – predictably – got destroyed in the process.

Other smartphones, such as the iPhone 5c and HTC Evo 3D, have also acted as
shields to protect their owners from bullets in the past as well. On the other hand,
smartphones today are becoming a hazard with their exploding batteries.

units of the phablet are defective and prone to swelling up or even exploding.

The subsequent recall has affected around 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 units and
is said to cost Samsung approximately $1 billion. An iPhone 7 Plus unit had also
exploded in transit less than a week ago, casting a shadow over the
much-anticipated launch of the new Apple smartphones
