I quite like the boxed-off look of Samsung's other phones (The Fold 6 looks like a phone you'd happily pull from a suit) but here it looks too much like the S25+, like they drained the Note DNA from it.

I can see why they did this, to create a more uniform brand identity with the other phones. It does give off the feel of a more grown-up design. like the Sony Xperia range but for me it came at the expense of its character.

The OnePlus 13 and the Nothing 2a both prove you can look smart but still stand out.
