Overview
- Tech creator Sahil Karoul bought a retail Galaxy S26 Ultra in Dubai and posted an unboxing and hands-on video.
- The demo shows the built-in Privacy Display making on-screen content difficult to view from side angles while remaining clear head-on.
- Samsung has said the privacy layer will offer multiple user-adjustable settings to control visibility and protection levels.
- Photos shared by the leaker show stacked S26 Ultra retail boxes reportedly on sale in a Dubai shop ahead of launch.
- Leaked materials and the unit’s menus point to iterative hardware—Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 3,120×1,440 120Hz screen, a 5,000mAh battery, and largely unchanged rear cameras—while the S Pen again lacks Bluetooth.
