There\u2019s only one way to find out.<\/p>\n<p>We teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaRealManMikey\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@damanmikey<\/a>, the same person who created the Galaxy S26 Ultra spoofer module we used to uncover this new feature. He built a similar spoofer for the <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/tag\/galaxy-s26-plus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S26+<\/a> instead. This makes any device \u2014 including our test device \u2014 report to installed apps that it is a Galaxy S26+.<\/p>\n<p>We also used the latest version of the Tips app from the most recent internal builds of <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/tag\/one-ui-8-5\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 8.5<\/a>. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nirmalsri7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@nirmalsri7<\/a> for sharing that with us. We installed the new spoofer module, removed the old one to avoid any potential conflicts, and then rebooted the device to make sure everything applied correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Is Privacy Display going to be a Galaxy S26 Ultra exclusive?<\/p>\n<p>Once the module was active, we confirmed that the Privacy Display card does indeed appear in the Tips app. It plays the same animation we shared previously, along with the same descriptive text, suggesting no functional differences. Here\u2019s a demo showing it in action.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Do bear in mind that this could still change before Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S26 series. This is early internal software, after all, and it\u2019s subject to change at any time.
