Why the Nokia 3310 was so strong compared to phones now and even phone at the same time.
In: Engineering
Well, you can’t really compare a Nokia 3310 to a modern smartphone. A smartphone is, in fact, a computer. It is way more complex than an Nokia 3310. Many of these new complex features are much easier to break. For example, on a Nokia 3310 you hate a shit screen. It doesn’t matter if the material you use looks good or not when you have a screen like that. This means you could just give it a very sturdy screen. On new smartphones on the other hand you have extremely high resolution touchscreens. So the focus is on making a very good looking display, but the downside is you can’t just use the most sturdy material then. The construction is also much more finely done.
Back when the 3310 came out a lot of other phones were just as hard to break, but the Nokia 3310 was a really big hit so most people had one of those, so obviously when people think back that is the one they remember as the unbreakable. I won’t deny that it was among the more study, it was built very well – remember that a Nokia was a quality phone. But it isn’t like it was this special unbreakable thing that was way better than everything else. People just don’t remember other phones from back then.
