A tweet shared by a former design executive at Nokia, Peter Skillman who worked on a Nokia Lumia proved that these handsets can indeed handle tough damage – and can even stop a bullet. “A Nokia phone I worked on a few years ago saved the life of a man in Afghanistan last week. The embedded bullet,” he wrote. This is yet to be confirmed, but Mr Skillman shared the image of the phone which shows how the bullet got stuck in the middle of the phone’s body, demolishing it completely but keeping its user out of danger.
— peter skillman (@peterskillman) October 5, 2016 Mr Skillman said he was unable to disclose the actual victim, but having seen these unbreakable devices first hand, it seems legit. The phone shown in the pic is a Nokia 301, which was released in 2013, according to The Telegraph. This is not the first time that a phone has reportedly stopped a bullet. Other incidents include a HTC’s Evo 3D saved a store clerk in Florida when an armed robber fired at him while leaving the premises and a Lumia 520 that stopped a bullet from hitting a Brazilian police officer in 2014.
