Despite the hype around phone launches, I never felt the need to upgrade to a new phone in the last three years .

The last time I was excited about something on a smartphone was in 2019 , when high-refresh-rate displays were widely adopted.

Regardless of Android or iOS, phone companies seem to stay the course instead of pushing things forward.

Consistency in phone design over a certain period may not always be a bad thing.

However, the repetitiveness has been going on for too long, to the point where new phones now look boring to me.

I agree with our Phones Editor, Will Sattelberg , who opined that it's time to rethink smartphone design.
