Samsung is tipped to unveil its Galaxy S26 series tomorrow, at its next Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco. But we've got a sneak peek of the S26 ultra already, courtesy of the Independent Photographers Association on Weibo. The new phone is photographed on the front and back, and the images clearly show Samsung's new design for The S26 Ultra's camera island. Though the positioning of each lens follows the same layout as previous Ultra phones, the camera bump is now far more pronounced around the three main lenses. This is similar to the S25 Edge's camera island design, and as likely due to Samsung slimming down the rest of the phone chassis. The camera bump now looks thick, relative to the rest of the phone, but the thickness of the bump is probably no greater than that of the S25 Ultra. Even so, the result can hardly be called elegant: it looks more 'wart' than 'island', at least to my eyes.
