By issuing a series Galaxy With the S23, Samsung kind of backed itself into a corner. The new range of its flagships has a minimalistic design and doesn't seem to leave much room for possible improvements. The line then becomes even more of a mystery Galaxy The S24, due next year, is less predictable in that regard. Or maybe not.
Where is Samsung with its line Galaxy Will S shift in 2024? Could he be changing the look of the next generation of his flagship phones for no reason yet? Or will all models Galaxy S look more or less the same in its future generations until Samsung completely replaces the line with foldable phones? There are many questions and few answers.

Is stagnant design inherently bad?
Samsung probably can't use some kind of output for the cameras again, when it completely removed this element and the current form is to be introduced across the entire portfolio (i.e. also for models Galaxy AND). Unless the company decides to go in a completely different direction again, the current look of the back of the phones will be with us for years to come. Successors Galaxy The S23 Ultra may eventually become flatter, both front and back, but even so, it's unlikely to drastically change the existing design formula. Or, on the contrary, according to him, even the basic models will be curved.

What if it is Galaxy S24 Ultra look like S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra? We also know it from iPhones, where each successive generation actually looks the same as the previous one, and users have accepted it, so why can't they here? Does each new generation have to look different to justify its existence in the market, or is it something else? External changes can often serve to mask a lack of real progress in other areas that really matter, i.e. hardware specifications. We can see this even in this year's basic models of the S23 and S23+ series, where you can count the changes compared to last year's generation on the fingers of one hand. But this suggests that even if the next generation will look the same, we could advance knowledge further inside.

So if Samsung has reached the series Galaxy With design perfection, where he can only reduce the output of the lenses, he has his hands full with regard to the series of folding phones. Advice Galaxy Z have not yet reached the same design maturity as the series Galaxy S and Samsung will likely continue to improve its flexible phones for many years to come. But it can be certain that, at least in the case of the Z Fold5, it copies the design of the S series cameras, so it will get rid of unnecessary output here as well. However, we will see that only in the summer.
Design unification is total bullshit to me. And Samsung will hopefully change that with the S24 series. Otherwise, no one will buy them.
I agree with you, I also don't like this unification of design across model lines. In principle, a 30K phone shouldn't be interchangeable with a phone for 8K or less, that's wrong. As far as "design quality" is concerned, it is difficult to discuss it, as it is a purely subjective matter and everyone likes something different. I count myself in the camp of those who liked the "island" of the S21 and S22 much more. I consider current design to be extremely boring and devoid of any creativity. We can only hope that something will change in Samsung and the design will become more interesting.
Well, if the manufacturer has decided to use the existing design direction of the brand in the following generations, then I don't really understand the point of accepting the new chief designer Hubert H. Lee from Mercedes. This is exactly why I didn't switch to the S23 Ultra, even though the Snapdragon was a big attraction for me, and I'm staying with the S22 Ultra.
Honestly, after years (since the S9), Samsung's design seems mature to me. The quality has moved up a class since the S22, especially in the basic models. It has plenty of power, it doesn't overheat and the battery life is great. I like this minimalistic design, and it would be nice if Samsung focused on further reducing the output of the rear camera, or at least kept the current one. The current trend of "binoculars" on the back of modern smartphones, for example on the IP 14, seems funny to me these days.
