Galaxy S6's ugly Protruding Camera

[AC Question]

I am a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone and I am very happy with it apart from two elements, which ~I am hoping will be corrected on the newly introduced S7 model. Firstly, it's that ugly Protruding Camera sticking out at the back of the device. Why can't it be hidden like the superb camera of the iphone 6? It really destroys the design of the phone. And secondly, I hope that the Samsung S7 model is slightly smaller, very slightly, and is a little more smoother and curved around the corner. Whomever I have asked have all said that the design of the iphone 6 is what the Galaxy S6 should have looked like, where the age of ugly protruding cameras and large buttons sticking our is the look and technology of the past. Even the new HTC has its camera hidden and almost level with the framework. Get ride of the Protruding camera sticking out horribly at the back and make the device's edges a little more smoother and slick and the Samsung S6 would have been the best phone on the market. Instead, the female population (the majority) have all gone for iphone 6 - only because of its design, as everything else with the firmware of the phone and its use is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Keep in mind that the thinner and smaller the device will require trade offs in other aspects of hardware design. Although smaller, the iPhone 6/6s has a ring protruding on the back due to the size of the device.

Camera hardware design is still playing catch up. Also, thinner phones usually mean smaller capacity batteries as well.
