The tech industry and consumers alike are waiting for the next innovation to shake up the mobile market, which is seeing designers imagine potential features as seen with the conceptual 'PHONE ONE' smartphone.
Designed by Wayne Lu, the smartphone follows the familiar silhouette of most devices on the market but has a rotating side button panel to elevate the user experience depending on the task at hand. This means that the panel could rotate to reveal photography buttons when snapping photos, gaming controls when partaking in digital pastimes and much more.
