THROUGH THICK AND THIN
Water, dust and climate proof – the new Nokia 800 Tough was built and tested to meet military standards and is so resilient you can even use it on a building site
It’s that moment we all dread: picking up our mobile phone after dropping it in water or on the floor and realising it’s beyond repair.
According to market research firm Mintel, a quarter of smartphone owners have smashed their phone in the past two years, and women aged 16 to 24 are the worst culprits.
The most common mishaps, revealed by data analyst IDC, are smashed screens or damage by water following quick slips in sinks, toilets and even pint glasses. In fact, more than 100,000 smartphones are damaged every day, equating to 36.5m damaged devices each year across Western Europe. No wonder consumers are looking for high-end devices that can avoid this life pain point.
Fortunately, there’s a new phone on the market, now available in the UK, that’s designed to combat any accidental drop, extreme temperature, dust, sand or liquid it may come into contact with.
Built and tested to meet military standards, the Nokia 800 Tough can be taken anywhere, and alongside up to
43 days of standby time on a single charge and a Google Assistant button to help you sort out your life through voice command, the handset will also withstand the toughest environment. With bigger buttons, anti-slip grips, preloaded apps and 4G LTE, it’s ideal even for use on a building site.
The 800 Tough is another addition to the Nokia family that has advanced tech while helping you combat whatever life throws at you. Nokia phones keep getting better and better so your day can, too.
