A big reason for that is the clever Privacy Display feature.\n<\/p>\n<p>Samsung&#8217;s 2026 Ultra flagship is the first phone to use this technology and, so far, the only one. Yesterday, Samsung Brazil reminded fans of that achievement through a spooky new ad.\n<\/p>\n<p>The video ad highlights the privacy risks associated with shoulder surfing, but one thing that caught our attention is how sparingly it uses AI-generated imagery.\n<\/p>\n<p>Samsung arguably leaned too heavily on AI-generated visuals in some of its recent ad campaigns, but this Privacy Display commercial feels far more grounded and human by comparison.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sure, the floating eyeballs are clearly CGI, but compared to some Samsung ads from the past year that leaned heavily on AI-generated visuals, this one strikes a better balance between real footage and synthetic effects. It arguably reflects the company&#8217;s creative spirit more naturally. Check it out below.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sua tela livre de olhares | Galaxy S26 Ultra\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gxEMAuN2ZLw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed it, Privacy Display lets Galaxy S26 Ultra users limit screen visibility when viewed from an angle, helping prevent strangers from peering into their phones.\n<\/p>\n<p>The feature works exactly as advertised and isn&#8217;t some software trick. It&#8217;s a hardware-based solution that relies on a special sub-pixel arrangement built into the display. And no amount of One UI updates can break the exclusivity presently enjoyed by the S26 Ultra.\n<\/p>\n<p>Samsung Display developed the technology under the name Flex Magic Pixel, but so far, Samsung&#8217;s mobile division is the only one using it in a commercial device. That gives the Galaxy S26 Ultra a unique advantage, not only over other Galaxy phones but also competing smartphone brands.\n<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re not a fan of the S26 Ultra, nobody knows which Samsung phone will get Privacy Display next.
