It’s been some time since the Galaxy S26 series became available globally. While the base S26<\/span> and S26<\/span> Plus received almost negligible upgrades from their predecessors, the Ultra model comes with a completely new privacy display feature.

We have already covered a lot about the privacy display feature of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, if you were living under a rock, or for some reason you weren’t up to date on what’s happening in the tech industry, then here’s a brief explanation of it.

Furthermore, you also have the option to make a particular part of the screen invisible from side angles instead of the entire display.

Samsung recently conducted a survey of 11,000 Europeans, in collaboration with Censuswide, to discover how people typically behave with smartphones in public spaces. Around 56% of participants admit that they accidentally look at someone else’s smartphone display in public spaces like public transport. Interestingly, 24% even admit to doing this…
