The phone can also be converted into a flashlight with a single button. As far as security is concerned, a single press of the button will lock all functions and prevent accidental key presses when carrying it around, except for the SOS call, flashlight, and digital magnifier features in case of emergencies. To unlock the phone, all you have to do toggles the button.
