Engineer Builds a Screen-less Mobile Phone From Scratch
A space engineer who hates Smartphones and texting has built a unique mobile phone that doesn’t have a screen.
34-year-old Justine Haupt hates smartphones and other devices for the way they rule our lives. Thus, she has built herself a classical rotary dialing phone which is also wireless. She spent 3 years building a blue-colored phone fit with a rotary dial taken from an old Trimline phone and an antenna.
She built the phone’s case using a 3D printer and added speed dialing buttons so she could easily call her husband and her mother. The first prototype was built using the most basic hardware, but Justine constantly worked on improving the design and built until it was a fully functional encased device fit for practical use.
The device is about 4-inches tall and works on an AT&T prepaid SIM card. Its battery lasts around 24 to 30 hours and the rapid popularity the phone is gaining has led Justine to build a kit to allow anyone to create the phone for themselves.

British Woman Credits a Huawei Smartphone for Saving Her Life
A British woman from Lancaster was saved thanks to a Huawei smartphone.
Beth McDermott, a 42-year-old, lives alone and had an accident at home. She tripped and fell from a flight of stairs and hit her head which knocked her unconscious for three days.
When she woke up, she couldn’t move due to her injuries and due to rhabdomyolysis, a condition where damaged muscles break down rapidly and release myoglobin, it made it hard to move. If left untreated it can lead to kidney failure, which can be fatal.
The Huawei Y6 (2019) she had purchased three days ago was with her when she regained consciousness. She feared that the battery might have died after three days but was surprised to see that it still had 50% left. Thus, she managed to call emergency services and was picked up by the ambulance and successfully recovered within a week.
She said:
It 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. I wasn’t expecting ..
