My phone saved my life.
That's the view of a man called Sylvestre who has told iTele he was outside the Stade de France when the blasts occurred. He says the Samsung protected his head - taking the impact from shrapnel during the explosions - and believes he wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for the phone.
"Look here, this is my phone that saved my life. Otherwise my head would've exploded," he told iTele.
Pictures of him holding the phone show a large dent on one side and a shattered screen on the other.
Sylvestre, was also reportedly shot in the foot and a bullet grazed his torso.
