The privacy screen is expected to be a heavily marketed feature during Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, and it could be one of the key selling points for why one would upgrade to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even though the entire lineup is said to be attracting lower pre-orders, the Korean giant can still offset the underwhelming reception with its top-end flagship. Now, one tipster has shared a promotional video on how the privacy display will work on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and if you’re someone who isn’t fond of prying eyes sifting through your conversations, this technology will specifically cater to you.
Metro, subways, bus stations, restaurants, or even the workplace are areas where privacy gets compromised, giving the Galaxy S26 Ultra a tremendous opportunity
On X, Samsung Mobile US shared a video below of one of the features arriving to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. A woman is sitting in the subway going through what appears to be a story from a book, but on her left and right sides, two individuals cannot seem to mind their own business and continue to peek into the display’s contents. We are certain that this problem is encountered by millions who have to commute to and from crowded places, with people standing or sitting next to you having a propensity to go through your private conversations.
While not visibly irritated, the woman taps on a single-touch toggle shown in the video titled ‘Zero-peeking privacy,’ turning the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display completely black. However, we don’t know whether the content will be visible only to the woman or whether there are additional settings that provide broader functionality. Prominent tipster and leaker Ice Universe has previously said that the privacy screen will address actual problems as opposed to companies introducing incremental upgrades, such as higher refresh rates and peak brightness levels, which offer little to no benefit to users.
We’ve also discussed that if this privacy display technology takes off, it can open the door to increased adoption, creating a whole ecosystem. For instance, banking institutions or cryptocurrency applications can partner with Samsung to help protect the highly sensitive credentials of users. In short, the possibilities are incredible and vast, but only if the Korean firm enforces this practice. For now, check out the video above and let us know what you think about the feature in the comments.
