I remember running home, knowing a shiny new Galaxy Note 9 was waiting for me, unable to contain my excitement as I ripped open the box. I felt the same as I picked up my Rise of Skywalker Galaxy Note 10 Plus for the first time. The devices felt alive, and they continued a long tradition of interesting Samsung phones.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I haven\u2019t felt that in a long time. Samsung\u2019s current designs feel uninspired, and it is surprising that we have seen the same general design for almost five years in its flagship Galaxy series. Sure, there have been minor refreshes along the way, but nothing like what we were used to seeing from the company.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, leaks suggest that\u2019s about to change, as the upcoming Galaxy S27 reminds me of one of the best phones the company has ever released.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"e__t\">Which Samsung Galaxy is your all-time favorite?<\/h3>\n<p>4 votes<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Note 9<\/p>\n<p>25%<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Note 4<\/p>\n<p>0%<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Note 10+<\/p>\n<p>25%<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S10+<\/p>\n<p>25%<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S4<\/p>\n<p>0%<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S7 Edge<\/p>\n<p>25%<\/p>\n<p>Other<\/p>\n<p>0%<\/p>\n<p><h2>Samsung\u2019s hardware has stagnated for a reason<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_rg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Prism White\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-64w-36h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-1000w-563h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-1920w-1080h.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-1536w-864h.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-675w-380h.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-300w-170h.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-1280w-720h.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-840w-472h.jpg 840w\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Prism White\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Prism-White-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Stephen Radochia \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a certain attitude you have as an insurgent that\u2019s much harder to maintain as an incumbent. Samsung\u2019s early designs showed it was trying to blaze a trail, while its recent success has made that difficult. When you have a massive installed user base buying your product every year, you do your best not to upset that \u2014 it\u2019s human nature, and it\u2019s especially true in business.<\/p>\n<p>It proved you could make a device that was sleek, stylish, and powerful \u2014 that didn\u2019t have to weigh as much as a Fiat.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that can lead to a bland product, and there\u2019s no better example than the Galaxy S26 lineup. Samsung\u2019s recent design language is uninspired, meant to offend as few people as possible while sitting on store shelves. It seems easy to criticize from the sidelines, but Samsung knows what it is doing, with the sales figures to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>If&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s27-bringing-back-s10-plus-3664947\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Galaxy S27 may be the S10 Plus successor I&#8217;ve been waiting for https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s27-bringing-back-s10-plus-3664947\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":249232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-blue-sky-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[86],"class_list":["post-249231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249231"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249231"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249233,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249231\/revisions\/249233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
