I've noticed over the last few years that while I will always love and prefer this boxy design being a massive Note fan, I can appreciate the newer looks especially once I see them in person. Having something that looks new and refreshing is a nice feeling and I've gotten used to it.
Please bring back the boxy design. Having that design on the Ultra lineup made them stand out even more by giving them that sleek and professional look. I will be skipping 26. Hopefully, they bring it back for 27.
I agree with your sentiment, as it appears a significant number of Samsung users are eagerly anticipating the return of the boxy design for the upcoming S27 Ultra series. I have also observed numerous comments on YouTube from users expressing their appreciation for the premium feel and classic aesthetic of the boxy design. It seems many users have paused their phone upgrades since the S24 series, as that was the last iteration to feature this particular design. This could potentially explain why sales for both the S25 and S26 series may not have met expectations. I believe that if Samsung had incorporated the boxy design into the S25 and S26 series, we might have seen a notable increase in sales.
I am not expressing a personal preference, but rather reflecting the strong desire of a large user base for the return of this design in the forthcoming S27 Ultra. If the team believes that rounded corners are more appealing to a smaller segment of users, perhaps offering two versions of the S27 Ultraโone with a boxy design and another with rounded cornersโwould be a beneficial approach. This would allow consumers to choose based on their individual preferences and could also serve as an effective marketing strategy.
