Now I understand why it's called a cell phone

    If cell phones used rotary dialers, butt-dialing would basically disappear.

    No sir, your slopometer is incorrectly calibrated.

    It was an electronics kit sold in 2020.

    Why would they craft it with misaligned/crooked buttons and cutoff text? I want to look it up, what is it called?

    Looks like it is genuinely rotary dial design. Those aren't buttons, they are holes. The text is on the black background, the clear plastic above it has holes cut out. There's quite a bit of thickness to that plastic and it's some distance from the black backing. Looks very much like a rotary phone looked, though understandable that most folks haven't seen one up close.

    I didn't mean the rotary buttons being misaligned, i can talk the perspective (i have a rotary phone in a box somewhere). It's the other buttons that are wonky... What does the lambda button do??

    Massive annoying bumps to make the rest of the phone 0.1mm thinner. No camera bumps should be the priority design, not every increasingly large ones that even cases can't obscure now.

    Didn't we give that up already? My previous phone had 4 lenses on the back but my current has 2. And I still only ever use one of them.
