When you buy a new smartphone, you give it much attention and great care. Well, that does not last long: sooner or later, it becomes just another thing in your pocket or bag. You start to handle it with less care and attention and instead of gently placing it on the table, you just throw it there without even looking what happened to it. It is at that time, that the resistance features of the phone are most visible. After the device gets one visible scratch, the owner can get disappointed with it, even if the phone has kept the functional aptitude. It is for this reason smartphone manufactures equip their phones with various kinds of resistant material, paying particular attention to the glass of the screen.
We have reported already about the Nokia Lumia 800 falling from hotel balcony on a concrete surface and reportedly staying alive after all, with virtually no scratches.
And now a user called Titanas has uploaded a video on YouTube, where he/she “tortures” a Nokia Lumia 800 display. If you are too emotional, I would not advise you to watch it, since you can become upset seeing such cruelty imposed on such a beautiful smartphone. Titanas used such tools as a corkscrew, golden coins and keys and a Swiss knife to “torture” the Nokia Lumia 800 Gorilla Glass screen. After each trial, Titanas shows a closer look on the phone to demonstrate there are no scratches. And indeed it seems the smartphone is strong enough to endure the ordeal, at least the video shows it that way.
Well done Nokia Lumia 800 with your Gorilla Glass screen! This resistance feature of Nokia’s so successful flagship phone will be especially appreciated by those who travel much or go camping.
