mirror cameras 2

I am still surprised why there are no 'one side' phone cameras over there.  
To provide bezel-less screen we may see lifting up, sliding front cameras (OPPO Find X, Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 3) and  3-4-5-9 back cameras  ( Nokia 10 , Light {rumors})

More cameras make multi-focus possible (like new apple, after short bokeh and so on).  However, the selfy market is poorly served (and no 360 on the phone yet). 

I believe those proposals geometrically archivable and can satisfy better the market.  
The cylinder-like (or cone at the bottom) lenses located on top of the phone. Inside of the body, the mirror redirects the light down.  A small motor rotates the whole camera to the front or back direction. One of the lenses could be 360. There could be more than 3 of them, they may be directed in opposite direction for a better 360 view (and different shape, to provide the same after shot focus).    The visible part of the lenses could be as small as the "eyebrow" we have now. 

(sensers and voice exit between onmidirectional lenses)

Another approach to avoid movable parts: if two side lenses with a filter like shadowing screen (to light through only one side) and mirrors redirect the light to the common matrix (it will be bigger to digitally compensate distortion). 
(the matrix should be turned more on diagonal).  Two pairs (by two side-lenses) could be used to compensate some light penetration and 90 degrees turned window (.
