Galaxy S26 Ultra Design Leaks Reveal Camera Overhaul, Potential Wobble Woes
[City, State] – [Date] – Leaked images and a video of alleged Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra dummy units have surfaced online, offering a sneak peek at the upcoming flagship phone’s design changes. Posted by @OnLeaks on Twitter/X, the images reveal a camera module reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with three main lenses housed on a distinct, raised island.
While the overall shape mirrors the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the redesigned camera bump is raising concerns about stability. Critics point out that the far-left placement of the camera module already causes wobble when the phone is placed on a flat surface. The more prominent camera bump on the S26 Ultra is likely to exacerbate this issue, potentially making the phone even more unstable when used on a table.
“The new design may result in a frustrating wobble effect similar to the Z Fold 7” reported by Ben Schoon of 9to5Google.
The redesigned camera module is also presumed to be due to a thinner chassis Samsung is rumored to be developing for this year’s phone.
While a case can mitigate the wobble, users who prefer caseless use or thin cases may find this design choice particularly annoying.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in February. The leaked images offer a glimpse into the design direction of the S26 Ultra, but further details are needed to fully assess the impact of the camera module on the phone’s overall usability.
