Galaxy S26 Revolutionizes Mobile Photography with Bold Ditch of iPhone Inspiration

The Notch Trend That iPhone Popularized: Is Samsung About to Ditch It?

For years, I’ve been waiting for this moment. Finally, a report suggests that Samsung, a major phone manufacturer, might be ditching the notch trend and opting for under-display cameras in their next non-foldable flagship. The relief I felt when I first heard this news is hard to put into words.

The Notch Trend: iPhone’s Legacy

The notch, a design element popularized by the iPhone X in 2017, seemed like a passing fad at first. However, it didn’t take long for other phone manufacturers to follow suit. Sharp and Essential, among others, beat Apple to the punch with similar designs, but it wasn’t until the iPhone X launched that the notch became a widespread trend.

Samsung’s Turn: From Skeptic to Advocate

Initially, Samsung mocked the notch in their ads, depicting it as a goofy haircut. I thought this meant they’d never adopt the design. Alas, my optimism was short-lived. Despite the Galaxy phones’ superior designs, Samsung soon followed suit and adopted the notch in their subsequent models.

The Quest for a Normal Display

I long for the good old days of normal displays. Displays that don’t force content to contort itself around a notch or its unnecessary oddities. Perhaps Samsung’s focus on Galaxy AI might distract them from ensuring the perfect selfies, allowing them to innovate and perfect under-display cameras.

A Ray of Hope?

Perhaps I’m being optimistic, but if this report is accurate, I couldn’t be more thrilled. A breakthrough in under-display cameras would mean one thing: no more notches. For now, I can only hope that Samsung will surprise us with a flawless display in their next flagship.
