Other than foldables, I think phones have basically settled on their generic form factor. Rounded corners for comfort and fall protection, a small hole punch for the front camera, and buttons only on the side.

In the past, it was about the creative things you could do with bezels as they got smaller and smaller. Now that there are effectively none, there’s not much more left to do. Fingerprint readers moved under screens, camera bumps are here to stay, and everything has USB-C.

Foldables are really the only form factor with room for improvement right now, but then I have to ask myself, do I really need more screen? I don’t even know many people outside of kids and the elderly who even use tablets these days, why do I need my phone to become one?
