Nokia phones, especially the 3310, are stereotyped as being indestructible due to their legendary durability and a cultural meme that emerged around them. Users share anecdotes of 3310s surviving extreme conditions, such as being dropped from significant heights or even run over by vehicles, with many proclaiming that it could 'break the floor' instead of itself breaking [1][4]. This reputation is amplified by the phone's historical success and its sentimental value among those who recall its robustness and long-lasting battery life [5][6].
