A Nokia phone stopped a bullet and Twitter can't get over it
The image of a Nokia phone with a bullet lodged in it went viral.
As the likes of Samsung and Apple battle for ruling the market in the age of smart phones, a brand that was the most popular around a decade back is slowly fading away. But it seems that while new brands offer various features, Nokia has literally come across as a lifesaver.
The incident came to light after Microsoft’s General Manager of Core UX tweeted the image of a Nokia device that had a bullet lodged in it, mentioning how the phone saved an Afghan man’s life.

While this is the second time a Nokia phone has managed to stop a bullet, Twitter was euphoric about it as the social media site was flooded with memes and hilarious tweets.

Although Nokia has been missing from the limelight lately, it seems the brand still has a unique appeal of its own.
