If you were alive in the early nothingies you probably know that Nokia is famous for making indestructible phones. The 3310 was the subject of endless online strength jokes, such as "Tried to bury a Nokia 3310 with a digger. It was back on my table the next morning."
Keeping with tradition, a Nokia phone is reported to have saved someone's life in Afghanistan by stopping a bullet from entering their chest.
A picture posted to Twitter shows a Nokia 301, released in 2013, that appears to have caught a bullet, the remains of which are lodged just behind the phone's smashed screen.
The picture was shared by Peter Skillman, who (in the past) worked on the team that created the bullet proof phone and now works at Microsoft as the general manager for user experience at Windows Desktop. It is not clear whose life the bullet saved.
In response to Skillman's post, other users posted pictures of the "indestructible" Nokia 3310 being used as a bullet proof jacket and a beating ram.
If the Nokia 301 did in fact prevent a death, it wouldn't be the first such event. Other cases have involved smartphones such as the Nokia Lumia 520 and Huawei P8 Lite catching bullets.
The Lumia 520 was dubbed "bulletproof" and became the subject of a popular idea that spreads quickly among people a after it saved the life of an off-duty police officer in Brazil.
