Ah, the glorious and memorable past! Back then, it was pretty common for a phone to come distinctive design and features that set it miles away from its rivals in terms of individuality and uniqueness. These were exciting times, and the major phone manufacturers were not afraid to often experiment and push their design and R&D departments to the very limit. This usually led to the inception of devices that were quite peculiar and strange, yet flaunted so much individuality that they could put any of nowadays smartphones to utter and thorough shame.
Back in the days, the form factor and the overall design of the idiosyncratic devices were defined by its most noteworthy features. Nowadays, however, we tend to witness that almost any smartphone wants to be a jack-of-all-trades. That was hardly the case during the previous decade, when certain curious devices were so specialized in a given feature that they usually adopted an odd shape, an additional, uncommon set of buttons, or even a quirky functionality that (usually) remained the highlight of the device.
Driven by our insatiable curiosity and quite probably a bit of nostalgia, we made a pick of some vintage phones that were either extremely specialized in a certain department or their design was excessively conformed to a given feature or functionality.
Nokia N93/N93i
It is highly probably that when it designed the N93 swivel/flip phone, Nokia first engineered its camera and snapped a Symbian smartphone around it after that. Jokes aside, the N93 was endowed with a 3.2MP camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optics that allowed photography aficionados to make use of 3x optical zoom. The successor of the Nokia N93, the N93i, came with the same peculiar design language, but exhibited improved camera software.
