The camera probably uses some scan method to read from the imaging chip. It scans one row or column at a time into a buffer to make up the eventual image. Reading each scan line is fast, so the image appears sharp, but reading the entire series of scan lines takes a finite amount of time, so any camera movement will result in distortion of the image similar to what you see here. I'd wager you wobbled the phone a little as the image was being taken. It's a similar issue to using a slit scan shutter in which the slit can move relatively slowly across the image plane, while only exposing the film or sensor very briefly.
