"It's not just one of those special screen protectors; you can turn it on or off. There are two sets of pixels in the display: one that projects the image straight ahead toward the viewer and one that projects light off to the sides, so you can see the screen from an angle. By turning off that second set of pixels, the screen looks basically normal to the person holding the phone, while looking very dim from an angle."
"What's really cool is that in true Samsung fashion, you can customize this a hundred different ways. You can obscure only notifications as they pop up at the top of the screen, or have it automatically turn on when you enter a PIN or use a specific app. It can also tie into routines, so you could have it turn off when you arrive home and turn back on when you leave."
The Galaxy S26 Ultra features a Privacy Display that restricts screen visibility to prevent unauthorized viewing from angles. The technology uses dual pixel sets—one projecting straight ahead and one projecting to the sides. When activated, the side-projecting pixels disable, making the screen appear normal to the holder while appearing dim from angles. Users can customize the feature extensively, including obscuring only notifications, automatically activating during PIN entry or specific apps, and integrating with routines. The effect works equally in horizontal and vertical orientations. The S26 Ultra is also slightly slimmer and lighter than its predecessor.
