Maybe the next step to destroy a 3310 would be with a nuke

It is already a well-known fact that the famous Nokia 3310 phone is considered the ultimate, tough-as-nails mobile device that can resist all the nature can throw at it, well mostly.

In his famous series of indestructible man-made things that get put to the test via a flaming-hot nickel ball, youtuber carsandwater tested the ultimate man-made mobile phone, the Nokia 3310.

Known to survive drops from 900 feet (247 m), being run over by cars, and eat bullets, now the Nokia 3310 has to face the ultimate destruction force on the planet, a flaming hot nickel ball that melts any material from ballistic gelatin to hockey pucks.

It’s really interesting to see that not only it takes a couple of minutes for the nickel ball to eat away through the hard plastic on the phone’s screen, which amazingly is the toughest part of the phone, but it also has a hard time chewing away to the circuits once the ball manages to go through the hard surface.

It’s funny that the phone wasn’t destroyed in one go, but it took carsandwater four attempts to actually make the ball completely destroy the phone by placing the flaming nickel ball on both the front and back of the Nokia 3310 in order to turn it into a piece of melted plastic.

Needless to say, after four attempts to destroy the Nokia device, the inside circuitry remained completely intact, and with a nice surface overhaul the phone might work again!
