Recent insights into the smartphone market reveal that the aesthetic distinction of Galaxy S phones, specifically their curved edges, has been abandoned in the latest Galaxy S24 Ultra in favor of a more iPhone-like appearance characterized by flat sides and screens with rounded corners. This trend towards uniformity in design has become noticeable among various smartphone models.
Pixel’s Design Evolution
Subsequent leaks concerning the Google Pixel 9 Pro have indicated a shift in design, particularly with the alteration of its signature horizontal camera bar. Despite this change, the Pixel 9 Pro still retains a resemblance to the iPhone when viewed from a distance.
Pixel 9’s Significant Camera Upgrade
Adding to the discourse, leaked renders of the standard Pixel 9 model suggest it will inherit the same camera structure as its Pro counterpart, which includes a periscope lens—a notable enhancement previously unseen in Google’s more compact phone offerings. This feature is significant as it aligns with advancements found in competing products, such as the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro, which is also expected to incorporate a periscope camera for the first time.
