If we’re being perfectly honest, 2020 is shaping up to be a pretty boring year overall as far as smartphone designs go. Apple’s new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro phones are getting a big overhaul that sounds great, but it’s not exactly going to be anything earthshattering. After three iPhone generations with the same design, the iPhone 12 series will replace the current housing with one that has flat metal edges on the sides instead of round ones. That said, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the camera cluster on the back will still look the same and there will still be a big notch on the front, so it doesn’t exactly seem like it’ll end up being all that different from the iPhones we already have.
Where Android smartphones are concerned, things get a little more complicated. There are a few foldable smartphones that have launched recently, and those designs are new and different. That said, they’re not exactly going to win any beauty pageants. There is a fantastic new smartphone design that’s sleek and modern with an all-screen front and curved edges on either side, but there’s a problem with that design too: it’s everywhere. Remember back in 2018 when nearly every single Android phone company stole Apple’s iPhone X design? Well, now they’re all stealing Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S20 design. It’s already getting a bit tiresome, but hey, at least it’s a great design.
