Samsung will introduce the privacy display to the Galaxy S26 Ultra for the first time, making it a useful feature under a certain number of conditions, but a godsend for those who don’t appreciate prying eyes all over their private conversations when sitting in a crowded space. Before Galaxy Unpacked kicks off, one YouTuber got hold of the flagship and decided to test out the aforementioned feature. Based on his testing, it is useful, but it all depends on where the other person is sitting and how much effort they are making to invade your personal space.
The privacy display can also be adjusted to deliver maximum-level security from prying eyes on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, but again, its capability will vary
The YouTuber Wylsacom, who unboxed the M5 iPad Pro before Apple’s official announcement, has returned with an in-depth look at the Galaxy S26 Ultra. More specifically, we wanted to divert attention to the privacy display since it is one of the flagship’s most marketable features, with the content creator showing the various settings baked into the smartphone and how users can toggle them. While this technology is impressive, how effective is it really?
To test it out, Wylsacom had one of his buddies sit next to him to try to deduce what was being typed on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. You can see in the images where the other person could read the text, concluding that the angle is very important for the privacy display to maintain its efficacy. Unfortunately, if someone is standing and peeping into the panel, with or without the privacy feature enabled, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be a sitting duck.
Another cool implementation of the privacy display is that highly sensitive applications, such as banking ones, have the feature enabled by default, which is indeed useful, but Samsung will need to work with more developers to get the ball rolling on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Also, we wouldn’t be surprised if Apple implements the technology on its future iPhones. For now, we are preparing ourselves for Galaxy Unpacked, and we will provide you with timely updates.
