I've had this idea in my head for ages...

Another idea was a transparent screen phone that could other black out the side or flop the image for everyone to see.

I expected this to be a great low-mid range phone but it's being priced like a flagship... Specs aren't any good compared to it's lineup yet it's the most expensive?
