The image shows a gray–coloured phone that looks like a landline in every aspect except one. In the device, the dial pad is replaced with something else – a screen that looks like the screen of a tablet.

Replying to his own tweet, Niki also wrote, “The phone is KT5(3C), and it’s actually a wireless tablet with battery and SIM card slot. Even crazier than I imagined!”

The phone is called KT5 (3C) and is sold on Alibaba among other sites.
