Windows Mobile might be dying but a number of folks still use a Windows phone as their daily driver. Some of these loyal Windows fans own older devices that didn’t get updated to Windows 10 Mobile. Devices like the Lumia 520 and Lumia 635 didn’t get the update because of their small RAM (512MB) and small storage (8GB) while others like the Nokia Lumia 1020 didn’t get updated because of it’s old Snapdragon S4 processor.

However, those devices might just be able to get the update to Windows 10 Mobile today, thanks to an anomaly. Microsoft earlier released the Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update to the Release Preview Ring of the Insider Program. That’s the equivalent of a developer version of an Android ROM. Twitter user @mccools2013 who checked out the update found out that the it is available for the Lumia 520 and 635 512MB model.

The Creators Update itself isn’t even available to all devices running Windows 10. Although Microsoft says unsupported devices can get the update if they are registered for the Windows Insider program.

According to Neowin.net, the anomaly is limited to devices with 512MB of RAM as they didn’t get the updates on the Lumia 1020 and LG Lancet. So if you own any Windows phone with 512MB RAM and wish to update it to Windows 10, you may want to give this a a shot.

Back when Nokia was the number one phone company, we heard news of people who were shot at and were saved by their nokia phones. The freshest one in memory was of a Brazilian police officer who was saved by his Lumia 520.

This time around it’s Huawei doing the saving with the P8 Lite. The lucky person in this incident is Siraaj Abrahams who was robbed at gunpoint in a parking lot in August and shot at from a distance of about 2 meters. However, his P8 Lite sitting in his front pocket took the bullet and saved his life. It is important to mention that the Huawei P8 Lite has a plastic body, so this was more of luck. So, please don’t go trying this out at home or daring a gunman to shoot you.

Another incident of a Huawei device saving someone’s life was during the general elections in Kenya, when an individual with the name Millward Brown was almost hit by a stray bullet but was saved by the Huawei Mediapad in his backpack.
