Galaxy S26 Ultra leak shows off new camera bump that's sure to be annoying

Leaked images show the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a larger camera bump causing more wobble on flat surfaces due to a thinner chassis, a design issue seen in the Fold 7 series.

  • @OnLeaks posted images and a brief video on Twitter/X showing apparent dummy units of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, revealing a camera module that noticeably juts out from the back.
  • Samsung's updated camera island combines the three lenses on a raised island and resembles the Galaxy Z Fold 7's bump, while the overall shape echoes last year's Galaxy S25 Ultra and the bigger bump is presumably due to a thinner chassis this year.
  • Observers warn the left-side bump makes devices wobble on tables, and that wobble is especially bothersome for people who go caseless or use thin cases.
  • As Samsung applies this design to more phones, extending the Fold 7–style island to the Galaxy 26 Ultra and series likely worsens wobble, but a case of the right thickness largely solves it.
  • The change reflects a trade-off as Samsung builds a thinner chassis this year, and recent leaks indicate the Galaxy S26 series will launch in February, shaping early expectations.
