The Galaxy A26 arrives a bit late this time around, but it brings a bigger display and a more powerful chipset to the affordable A2x series.

    Not really sure why Samsung has started returning to that style of camera module on their newest phones. It isn’t old enough to have any kind of nostalgia value and still looks dated to me. Maybe that’s the point and they have decided their high end phones need to be more visibly distinct from the rest of the lineup? Or maybe they are trying to copy Apple again? Sony are the only manufacturer I can think of that retained this design consistently and they are a bit of an outlier since they often ignore industry trends.

      That’s exactly how I feel. There’s a reason why the front camera is still the ugly notch. Maybe they don’t profit much from low end phones and want to push more people to the midrange ones.

        It’s odd because the decision to make the entire range uniform (at least on the back) a few years ago seemed like a very conscious move to develop a signature Samsung look, yet now they are moving away from it again.
