We cannot see the telephone within the video, however the case is believed to be the S-View Flip Cover Case for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. A Twitter consumer translated the video, revealing that the soldier mentioned his telephone price round $675, additional suggesting it’s an S20 Ultra.
The soldier credit each the telephone and a canine tag for saving his life; it appears fairly sure that the Galaxy S20 Ultra and its case would not have been capable of do the job alone. Still, it is a powerful displaying from Samsung’s former flagship, which did fairly properly within the JerryRigEverything sturdiness exams just a few years in the past.
This is not the primary occasion of bulletproof telephones. Way again in 2016, a former Nokia govt claimed {that a} Nokia 301, first launched in 2013, saved a person in Afghanistan by stopping a bullet.
In different bullet-stopping information, there have been reviews earlier this month of a Razer headset that deflected a bullet whereas being worn by an 18-year-old from Torrance, California. The projectile got here by way of the glass of his window, ricocheted off the Razer Kraken headset, and was deflected right into a wall earlier than falling onto his mattress.
