Recent leaks have surfaced showing what are said to be renders of the Galaxy S27 Ultra, featuring a large horizontal camera island unlike anything seen on a Samsung phone before. The leak was reported by SamMobile in an article last updated on October 2, 2026.
According to the report, the new camera bump design is the main source of dissatisfaction among fans commenting on the leaked images. However, nothing is final until Samsung officially confirms it, and past final products have often exceeded early design expectations.
The wide camera housing could reportedly offer a practical benefit by reducing or eliminating desk wobble when the phone rests on a table. The article also notes that if Samsung borrows Apple's idea, the large island could house internal hardware for better performance and cooling, though this remains unconfirmed.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is probably Samsung's wobbliest phone due to a thick camera assembly and short, stubby form factor, according to the article. The Galaxy S27 Pro is also rumored to feature a similar wide camera housing. If the redesign succeeds, it may be adopted by other 2027 models such as the Galaxy Z Fold 9.
No official announcement, launch date, price, or availability information has been given. The article's author says he will attend next year's Galaxy Unpacked event to share findings on the redesigned camera.
