The [smartphone market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nothing-phone-3) has experienced something of a slump in recent months as sales have slowed due to market saturation and a lack of [new features being introduced](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lava-blaze-amoled-2), so the SAY2 smartphone has been designed as a new option. The smartphone is the design work of blueMap design and features a lack of bevel raises on all corners of the front of the device. This further immerses the user in what's happening on the screen to limit the feeling of using a device and push the boundaries of the user experience even further.

The SAY2 smartphone identifies a number of distinctly important design features that look to [rethink the device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meti) rather than simply improve on existing aesthetics to keep consumers interested in new devices.
