The DYA Cell Phone is a diagonally sliding mobile that changes the way we receive and make phone calls.
When not in use, the DYA Cell Phone slides back into a compact iPhone-esque shape. It also features unusually shaped round bubble buttons that give this concept phone a futuristic look.
DYA also has an elastic paint to help prevent damage.

Phones, in particular, receive continual reinvention, and as more and more options become available, tech brands must continually strive forward in design and development, lest they be left behind in the rapidly changing tech industry.
