I swear to God, researchers from the 26th century are going to be utterly confused as to how we did long-distance communication. Look at that picture. I mean, seriously look at it. Can you even tell at this point that the ostensible primary purpose of that device is to have an audio conversation with somebody else?
This, by the way, is why I liked that walkie-talkie app for the Apple Watch. At least you can make calls on it now and look vaguely cool doing it. OK. Very vaguely cool.

Kind of like the group of people who carry around giant headsets everywhere they go to wear while listening to their phone.
Reminds me of the spy watch in Spy Kids 2 (Shot|Chaser).
“Faintly”.
Bear in mind the reason it looks so weird is it’s wearing that snap-on fan. From the front, it looks normal. From the back, it’s actually got a neat asymmetry to the design: https://www.criticalhit.net/technology/asus-rog-gaming-phone-real-ambitious-thoughtfully-designed/
