A woman had her life saved recently by a Huawei smartphone thanks to its long battery life. After suffering from an accident that knocked her unconscious for three days, the smartphone’s impressive power backup lasted enough for her to call emergency services.

Beth McDermott, a 42 year old female that lived alone, tripped and fell down a flight of stairs and hit her head, knocking her out cold for three days. When she had woken up, Beth realized she couldn’t move her legs. Notably, she also suffers from rhabdomyolysis, a condition where damaged skeleton muscles break down rapidly, making it harder to move.

However, she did have one lifeline, which was the Huawei Y6 she had recently purchased or £90 (116 USD). Beth initially feared that the battery would have run out after three days, but it had surprisingly still had about 50 percent charge left. Thus, she managed to call 999 emergency services and was picked up soon after by an ambulance which took her to the hospital where she had to spend a week in recovery.

Beth also explicitly stated that the event was “the most horrible experience of my life. I can’t believe I’m still alive — I wouldn’t be if it weren’t for that phone.” So, the phone was definitely her savior. Furthermore, she even said that “I wasn’t expecting it to work at all but it still had 50 per cent battery life. I couldn’t believe it had lasted so long.” Apparently, previous to the Huawei Y6, Beth used a £400 (roughly 520 USD) iPhone 6 which was notorious for losing power quickly.

Rather, the sole reason for buying the Huawei device was due to the Apple handset needing to be charged multiple times in a day, according to Beth. She even called the Huawei smartphone “a blessing in disguise.” Thus, we have another example of new generation technology and innovation where advancements in the mobile industry have inadvertently saved lives.

The Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 was announced first in late January in Sri Lanka. It was later unveiled in the Philippines in February. Huawei has now announced its sibling – the Huawei Y6 2019 which shares a lot of features with the Pro variant and even has a key feature the Y6 Pro is missing.

The Huawei Y6  2019 keeps the 6.09-inch 1560 x 720 Dewdrop display of the Y6 Pro and also the 12nm Helio A22 processor. However, it has just 2GB of RAM. Built-in storage is still 32GB and you can expand it via a MicroSD card slot (512GB Max.).

Within the notch is an 8MP camera for selfies. There is Selfie Toning Flash 2.0 which works with the screen’s own light for taking bright and natural portrait images in lowlight environments.

The rear camera is a 13MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture that allows in up to 50% more light for better lowlight images. Unlike the Y6 Pro 2019, the Y6 has a fingerprint scanner (we honestly don’t know what Huawei is thinking). It also has Face Unlock.

The Huawei Y6 2019 packs a 3020mAh battery that charges via a MicroUSB port. It also runs EMUI 9.0 out of the box based on Android 9 Pie.  There is Huawei SuperSound on board which lets it release an additional 6 decibels of sound with stronger bass. It has a built-in FM radio that works without earbuds, support for Histen 5.0 and also has a party mode.

There is no info on pricing and availability at the moment.
