We’ve already heard about the Socialmatic Camera, but the company now seems like they want to get into the more mobile form factor game. Today, they uploaded a new album to their Facebook page and stated that they’re not just getting into cameras. The phone looks something like an HTC One; but the exact details are very scant.

From the photos, the phone seems to have a dedicated shutter button on the side very much like the new Nokia Lumia 1020. It also seems to come with three different skins that give the phone a tad of a retro-modern finish.

More photos are after the jump. We’ve contact Socialmatic for a comment and they stated that it will indeed centered around and designed for taking pictures. They also further explained that it will have a 5 inch LCD screen and will also run Android.
