Only those with 'hawk vision' can find phone in sea of shopping bags within 35 seconds

This tricky brainteaser has left puzzlers scratching their heads as only those who possess hawk-eye vision are able to solve it within 35 seconds.

The puzzle sounds relatively straightforward - all you have to do is find the hidden mobile phone that's buried somewhere in a sea of brightly-coloured shopping bags in the image below.

But it's not as easy as it looks because it seems that some people are taking upwards of a minute to actually locate the phone, while only those with the best puzzle-solving abilities are able to do so in 35 seconds or less.

Ready? Set your timer and cast your eyes over the following image:

Only those with very keen eyesight will spot the phone (Ubuy)

Did you spot it yet? Don't worry if not, these sorts of puzzles are intended to get your brain cells whirring away, and the more you practise, the sharper your skills will be.

This brainteaser, which was shared by global e-commerce platform, Ubuy, and appeared on Mirror.co.uk requires both focus and patience. Remember, you're looking for a smaller shape, which won't stand out nearly as much as the brightly coloured shopping bags.

If you're ready to move on then check out the same image below, this time with the answer circled:

The outside of the phone is the exact same colour as the bag handles (Ubuy)

As you can see, the outline of the phone is the exact same colour as the white shopping bag handles, making it difficult to pick out. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was just another handle at first glance.
