    Hand mirror

    I've actually used a rental phone in Japan with a mysterious button labeled "mira-" in katakana... When I touched it, the display turned off, and I wondered why.

    I asked a friend about this "mira-" function and she pointed out that when you touch it you can use the screen as a mirror.

    It turned out the display was coated with a reflective material that works fairly well once the display is off.
