Samsung knows exactly how you'll use Galaxy S26 Ultra's 'Privacy Display' in teaser

  I remember when narrow viewing angles of an LCD screen would cost you ratings on a review. Good move marketing it as a “feature”.

    If you can toggle it, it’s definitely a feature worth praising, I’d say.

    (And as a warning to all those spicy novel readers out there: An LCD from a bad viewing angle will still often show what you’re looking at, but inverted.)

    Yeah but it’s toggleable. That makes all the difference.

    I think it uses the same tech as the 3DS did, only in an implementation that doesn’t give you a migraine after 30 seconds.

    This isn’t really showing what the display is like. It apparently can adjust viewing angle on a per-pixel level, so for example only apps and notifications you set will have limited viewing angles.

    Here’s a story with a better leaked visual: notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-displa…

    Frankly I think it’s still a bit gimmicky for privacy (why not just do the full screen, which you can do with a $10 polarized screen protector to all phones already), but it’s legitimately neat tech.

    Businesses buy IPS for decades now, despite trading colors and contrast for a wider viewing angle. Then they slap a prism foil on top, to reduce the viewing angle (but also colors and contrast).

    One by one looking at peoples phones like that is annoying. But when all 3 of them watch with their binoculars, spotting scopes and looking glasses, it is hilarious AF.

  What’s with this site? Uses JS to first slowly load the layout, then the teaser pic, then the text. Wrong priorities i guess.

  Some people are saying in the comments that the video is AI generated (or that it uses AI somehow). Was anybody able to identify the AI components? Am I finally an old man for not being able to differentiate between AI and real life anymore?

    No one is saying that in this comment chain or on the linked website.

      sorry. I was talking about the comments on the youtube video.

    I’m certainly no expert but the guy’s eye movement looks pretty strange.

  “Coming” Feb. 25 2026. 😉

    The only problem with it now is if I ever have that feature switched on everyone’s going to assume what I’m looking at anyway.

  Uh oh… I bet the sound isn’t directional enough to work like this too. Yet.

    Headphones, if you’re in public headphones. Doesn’t matter whether you’re listening to David attenbourough no one wants to hear your media.
