Leaked Renders Expose Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Massive Camera Bump and Surprising Design Choices

New renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have surfaced, providing an early look at Samsung’s 2026 flagship. The most striking revelation from the collaboration between Android Headlines and OnLeaks is a drastically redesigned and significantly larger camera bump, hinting at a bold aesthetic shift for the device.

While the overall form factor of the S26 Ultra remains largely consistent with its predecessor, with only minor increases in height and width, the camera module introduces a considerable change. The device’s main chassis measures a slim 7.9mm, but the new camera array protrudes an additional 4.5mm, bringing the total thickness at the camera bump to an imposing 12.4mm.

Despite this substantial increase in physical size, initial reports accompanying the leaks suggest that the camera sensors themselves may not see revolutionary upgrades. The main shooter is rumored to be a 1/1.3-inch 200MP f/1.4, an aperture improvement, but the 10MP 3x telephoto lens might even feature a smaller sensor than the S25 Ultra. The 50MP ultra-wide and 5x periscope lenses appear largely unchanged.

This early glimpse, months ahead of Samsung’s anticipated Unpacked event, indicates that the enlarged camera module might be primarily a cosmetic decision, possibly aligning the Ultra’s design with other devices in Samsung’s lineup, rather than accommodating significantly improved optics. Consumers will be watching closely for official details on how Samsung plans to justify this prominent design element.
