Are the new Nokia phones indestructible like the old ones?

For my work use, I have a non-smart Nokia phone with the usual physical dial keys and a small display. The old Nokia phones were supposed to be indestructible. But within a few days of using this one, the keys started falling off. It also feels very plasticky and fragile! I guess they don't make them like they used to be. You can see the picture and decide for yourself!

I bought a Nokia 3310 for $10 but it malfunctioned and waste of my money. I don't know if its factory defect or skechy supplier.

@yoalldudes but why did you choose the 3310? I didn't even realise we could still buy one.

Technology wise Nokia is lagging behind. For non smart phones it's still an option.

Those indestructible phones no longer exist now. Best get other brand.

I used my Nokia smart phone for long time. I don't remember its number exactly but this mobile was replaced with a new one at nominal cost by the company even after waranty period when it developed battery recharge problem. Nokia phones are very sturdy and last long. The company had stopped the production for sometime. Other companies have overtaken them in innovation.

The above phone from Nokia I have been using for a couple of weeks is very fragile.

@pitstop They must have compromised quality to cut down cost.

It's still usable. So I'll just use it as it is.

I had Nokia phone years ago and they were really good and robust . They never had a problem. After introduction of the smart phone they got obsolete and I have never used them.

Since we use a very basic phone for work, they usually give us one of these.
