Nokia 3310 Bend Test

I am quite sure that based on the title of this story alone, you would know for sure that it is not going to be the Nokia 3310 that will bend, as this is one hardy handset that has its fair share of memes dedicated to the overall toughness of the device. In fact, it is also widely recognized to be one of the sturdiest phones that ever rolled off a phone production line, so it is nice to see something this classic make a case for itself. I would like to add, too, that the Motorola Microtac was definitely unbendable no matter how much pressure you applied to it with your hands, regardless of the angle. Heck, I suppose one of the “features” of that handset would it being a self defense weapon that could knock the lights out of someone if used correctly.

Do you think that pitting the Nokia 3310 against the iPhone 6 Plus or other newer handsets in terms of a bending test is fair in the first place? Well, Consumer Reports have already reported that the #bendgate affair has been “overblown“, and they might have a point, but taking into consideration that other handsets from different manufacturers do not experience this – not even just 9 official cases reported, it ought to be something that Apple should look into.
