The Galaxy S26 Ultra is then shown in hands-on images both on its own and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaroulSahil\/status\/2025603936603054554\" rel=\"nofollow\">compared <\/a>to devices including the iPhone 17 Pro Max and a (broken) Galaxy S25 Ultra. <\/p>\n<p>The updated design of Galaxy S26 Ultra looks nice in its white color variant, while one <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaroulSahil\/status\/2025644423586123879\" rel=\"nofollow\">post <\/a>shows that the S Pen sticks out a bit weirdly if inserted backwards. Unsurprisingly, there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaroulSahil\/status\/2025645326426898636\" rel=\"nofollow\">no <\/a>Bluetooth in the S Pen after it was <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/01\/24\/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-s-pen-remote-features\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">removed last year.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The biggest thing of note here, though, is a first look at Samsung\u2019s Privacy Display feature in action on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. <\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>Like the privacy screen protectors available today, turning the feature on makes the display go black at off-angles. It\u2019s not shown whether or not the effect can be applied to specific portions of the display and not others, as was hinted at in some previous teasers and a leak, but it can be applied to the whole screen at the very least. It also remains to be seen how this will look in person compared to through a camera.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S26 Ultra, and the rest of the series, will launch on February 25.
