We drop tested the new Nokia 3310 – but had to throw it from a 4-storey building to break it

Much has been said about the newly revamped Nokia 3310 which went on sale in the UK on May 24.

One of the key features of the original Nokia 331o, which was launched in 2000, was that it had a reputation for being very durable (as well as being great for Snake).

Here at Business Insider UK, we wanted to see if the new model could live up to the same standards as its predecessor. Therefore, we carried out a drop test experiment on the phone.

We dropped the phone from different heights to see how much damage the phone could take.

Watch the video at the top of this page to see how we got on (hint: it took a pretty big fall to take this phone down...)
