It’s fun to be right. I love to get that warm, fuzzy feeling of satisfaction just as much as anyone — maybe it’s a sports bet that hits, an obscure fact that becomes useful, or just knowing the name of a song that’s playing without Google’s help. And this time, I feel like I’m more smugly satisfied than I have been in a while. Why? Because I guessed what Samsung would do with its Galaxy S26 design at least a generation early.
But, like all things, I have to take the bad with the good. Even though I’m thrilled that I predicted one part of Samsung’s update that will bring personality back to its flagships, I’m worried about just about everything else that might come out of Unpacked. Here’s what I think Samsung is still going to get wrong.
