It looks like Bender.

Damn you nailed it. Now I can’t unsee it.

I came here to write the same thing. It absolutely does.

I have heard this for years. Not much you can do with a rectangle that's basically just a screen in front.

It's more about the software than anything. Maybe the camera too

I submit the HTC 10 as an example of a smartphone that did not look like an iPhone but had its own sleek design language:

That's kind of ugly though, IMO. I'd rather have a solid back.

I mean, the back didn't look a lot like an iPhone, but look at the front in white and compare that to an iPhone 4 in white.

Nah, it just looks ugly and too sterile. Nothing brave, just another double palm sized phone. A girl who tries very hard to look cool, but the bridge on her head just ruins the overall looks.

Maybe ask LG to make a cool looking phone. They have created a lot of brave designs.
