Samsung has revamped the design of its S-series, introducing flat sides across the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models, moving away from the rounded edges of previous designs. This change aims to enhance usability, making the phones easier to grip and position when in use. The article highlights a historical perspective on smartphone design, noting recurring shifts between flat and curved forms and suggesting that user preferences evolve based on familiarity with a device's shape. Ultimately, the trend reflects broader design philosophies in the industry.
This year, Samsung unified the design language of its S-series flagships, making the S25 series—S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra—look and feel the same.
Flatter sides make the device easier to grip, slide into your pocket, or prop up when you're trying to photograph them for a tech website.
Each time it happens and the company explains its change, the designers say this lack of curves/ introduction of curves is better than whatever it was last year.
My theory is that our hands get used to whatever phone form factor we've used for the last couple of years.
