Camera phones are getting thinner, and yet as manufacturers shave fractions of millimetres off the thickness of their latest handsets, there continues to be an elephant in room: the camera bump. The likes of Samsung and Google seem to conveniently overlook the increasingly giant growths protruding from the rear of their phones when advertising the thickness of their handsets (the Galaxy S25 Edge being a prime example). Yet as phones get ever-slimmer, even if these camera bulges stay a consistent thickness, they'll appear bulkier in relation to the pancake proportions of the rest of the chassis.
