It’s January end, and Samsung has finally (and officially) confirmed something that will likely be part of its Galaxy S26 series. The Korean tech major, through a blog post on its website, shared a teaser for what could be its highly anticipated Privacy Display feature — which could be packed in its flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be unveiled late February at the Galaxy Unpacked event.
Samsung Teases Privacy Display Feature For Galaxy S26 Ultra
Samsung announced that “a new layer of privacy” is coming soon, designed to “keep everyday moments truly yours.” The official press release says: “Samsung will soon unveil a new layer of privacy to shield your phone from shoulder surfing wherever you go. You’ll have the space to check your messages or enter a password on public transit without thinking twice about who might be watching.”
This confirms the long-rumored privacy display feature for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The technology will be highly customisable, allowing users to activate it for specific apps, only when entering sensitive information (such as passwords or access details in more private sections of the phone), or even just for particular elements like notification pop-ups.
Samsung describes it as a “tailored approach” that users can adjust precisely or turn off completely as needed. Unlike traditional privacy screen protectors — which apply a fixed filter to the entire display and can’t be easily disabled — this solution is integrated directly into the screen hardware. That integration also avoids the drawbacks of screen protectors like reduced brightness or interference with touch sensitivity.
With the feature, users will be able to privately view their critical phone data in public spaces, including buses and trains, elevators, or while waiting in queues, where there’s a high chance of people peeping into the device and privacy getting encroached.
