Camera bumps are returning to Galaxy flagships this year, and Samsung hasn’t just slapped a thick layer on the back. We just saw Galaxy S26 Plus in its White colorway, and a leaker with eagle eye discovered a transparent camera island design.

Galaxy S26 lineup’s camera bump features a 2-layer design. The bump hasn’t just enlarged in a single layer, but in two. The first layer is slapped to the back panel, surrounding the camera sensor, while the second sits above the first.

The leaked White color render showcases that the top camera island layer of the Galaxy S26 series is transparent. It doesn’t feature a glass finish like previous iPhones, but a subtle change to differentiate the design.

It might also be featured in other colors, including Black. However, White has become the first to brace the transparent layer. Paired with metallic rings, the 2-layer design offers a smooth and unique look to the smartphones.

Durability remains a concern when we talk about something like glass on a phone. Metal backs are more durable than glass or glasstic against accidental drops. Camera island could be heavily impacted if the device drops from a height.

Well, Samsung would have ensured the transparent layer doesn’t come at a cost of durability and reliability. Still, consumers have to take additional precautions and prevent accidental drops as much as possible.
