The Obi MV1 looks completely different to every other smartphone you see right now, but it’s for all the wrong reasons with a mashup on the Nokia/Microsoft Lumia design, but other parts of the design feel slightly iPhoneish. The bottom edges of the MV1 feel nice in the hand as they’re rounded off.

There’s no denying the design of the MV1 is unique it takes a lot of elements from other phones and combines them into one strange hybrid.
