Last Update: 09/22/2026 at 11:34 PM EST

Coverage from Android Central, Deccan Herald, and others

Samsung is rolling out a built-in Privacy Display on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and related S26 models, using OLED viewing-angle control to block shoulder surfing while keeping front-facing readability.

The feature is being positioned with app-level controls, automatic triggers, and a stronger privacy mode, but it also introduces brightness and color tradeoffs.
