Our poll shows you like the S26 Ultra’s look more than the iPhone 17 Pro, yet plenty of you actually hate both

Meanwhile, the second most-popular opinion (34.31% of voters in our poll at the time of writing) was that both the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro don’t look very good. The iPhone 17 Pro features a redesigned camera island, an aluminum unibody, and a section on the back made from Ceramic Shield, and the design, for many, is a bit on the controversial side.

14.27% of the voters in our poll find that the iPhone 17 Pro looks good, though, so there are those of you who like the new direction Apple is taking. Actually, when the rumors about the new design for the iPhone 17 Pro first started, I was adamant that it looked terrible, but now, with the new Cosmic Orange color, I find myself thinking it’s not that bad… 

Only 10.31% of voters at the time of writing find that both phones look good. As you can see, you guys seem to find the Galaxy S26 Ultra‘s new rumored looks good, and generally, most of you dislike the new iPhone 17 Pro look. 

I can understand why people would like the possible new look for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. After all, it’s not a huge departure from smartphone design anyway; it’s nothing crazy, and can look very sleek, depending on how Samsung actually does it. 

The iPhone 17 Pro, however, doesn’t manage to look as sleek as the Galaxy S26 Ultra leak shows. It looks somewhat rugged, even, so I can understand why so many people would vote that it doesn’t look good. Despite that, I’ve started to get used to it, and I feel like I may potentially even start liking it soon.
