It’s hard to deny that the Privacy Display has proven to be the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s most talked-about feature, but I was more apprehensive than most when I first heard Samsung discuss the feature.
Here at Android Police, we’ve already waxed lyrical about how the Privacy Display has to be seen to be believed, discussed how people will use the new feature, and questioned whether it’ll give users eye strain and headache.
I only had eyes for Audio Eraser because from the early leaks about the screen tool, I had some doubts about it.
I’m all-too-familiar with battery anxiety, and watch with weariness as new generations of smartphones are announced toting display features that gobble up energy.
High refresh rate displays, blinding max brightness, and creeping pixel counts, all go hand-in-hand with shorter battery lives — or chunkier power packs to compensate.
So, when Samsung announced a brand-new screen feature, my first thought was “what’s that going to do to the battery life?”
Thankfully, the brand sent me one, letting me test my theories with some experiential tests.
