Panel 1: There are 4 phones laid out in a row showing the back of the phones, each one a different model. The first has one camera lens in the upper left corner, the second has two lens in a vertical line on a raised rounded rectangle, the third has 3 grouped together in a triangle pattern on a raised square, the fourth has 4 in a square pattern on a raised circle. (Note that these are based on real phone designs)
Panel 2: (continuing the phone evolution) there are two phones side by side showing the cameras on the back. The first has 5 cameras arranged in a pentagon pattern on a raised circle, the second has 6 cameras in a circular pattern on a raised circle.
Panel 3: There is one phone, a cellphone now with a rotary phone dial replacing the circle of camera lenses on the back of the phone along with a corded handset. A hand has lifted the handset and is dialing out a number on the rotary.
The nice thing about rotary phones was, they didn’t have to be plugged into an electrical outlet, so they worked during a power outage
That applies to cell phones too! Until they die at least.
Phones with buttons too. I believe only fax machines and wireless phones needed electrical outlets
Unless the outage was at the central, too.
i see we’ve all forgotten the era of the biblically accurate camera phones


WTF is that abomination? That thing was a niche product at best. I’ve been around since the early days of smartphones and I can tell you that this was never on par with other models. I don’t remember them even advertising it.
I would totally buy a phone with a giant zoom lens if I were on the market for a new one.
I’m in my bird-watching phase of getting old.
Not an abomination at all, there were a few of these. I still think the Nokia N95 was the pinnacle of gizmo gadget phones. It looks downright hilarious now but my god that was a thing of beauty in its day.
Boring black slabs are practical, sure, but has that practicality improved our lives that much?
It’s like the s3 s4 days. We also had the Lumia pure zoom thing with a 48 mp sensor.
that’s just the first gen. at least five different companies made them, and i think sony only stopped their “xperia pro” line a few years ago.
Samsung? More like Sam screamed.
huawei? more like hoy vey

“Cellphones these days are full of eyes” - My grandmother when casually looking at someone’s phone over the table
Fourth one should be more centralized, then you’d have the Realme 12/13.
One of these phones looks like it can determine your glasses prescription.
Should have turned into a crab.
Phones already are cancer.
This comment will not get enough upvotes.
It already has too many…
it came close to happening
https://skysedge.com/telecom/RUSP/index.htmlIt’s so much easier when seafoam green is in fashion.
Nah it becomes a revolver
Only if they were made in the US.
So less than 1% of all phone brands.
History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes
Laughed more than I should.
Also I want this phone
Modern phones trigger my trypophobia.
