I think I'm getting whiplash reading all the articles about this one small topic, and PA writers flip-flopping their opinions back and forth on the daily.


Aug 22nd - "Samsung is ready to abandon the Galaxy S26 Ultra's "perfect" design."

Aug 23rd - "I'm hoping the bar is real"

Aug 23rd - "Early reactions to the new design are overwhelmingly cold, with most critics finding it visually unappealing."

Aug 26th - "Looks like an iPhone ... copy, and I'm disgusted"

Not rocking a triple digit IQ are you there champ.


iPhone stole this from Honor, Apple didn't invent this design, its been around in the Android space for ages. Its far more inline with the Honor than Apple.

Clown.

Why Don't you say Apple copied it from Xiaomi MI 11 Ultra??

I am sure the vertical camera module design was disgusting to people when it first came out (it is to me), but millions of ugly uneven wobbly phones were sold and somebody made millions from them. Same thing will happen with this new design--it will seem normal for millions. The only way that you can get disgusted with a phone's looks is if you associate yourself with those looks, like as if they were a part of you. One way out of this hole is to get over yourself. It's simply a bottom line and business to Samsung and Apple, they are not under an obligation to smooth out every wrinkle at extra cost to them.

Wow, I'm glad I got the 26 ultra, because I wouldn't buy a 27. Looks like I'm going back to a razr for my next phone.

I dont love it but I dont care about designs as I put my phones in a case. My issue with Samsung Flagship is lack of upgrades to camera sensors. They are putting the same crap and their photo processing is also not that good anymore. I moved on to Pixel 11 pro which has its own issues but I am good with it as I got it for almost free with carier upgrade. So far like the camera and phone feels fast and efficient(most new phones do feel that way)
