Samsung Teases Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display Ahead of Feb. 25 Unpacked

Leaks point to auto and per‑app controls for Samsung’s hardware privacy tech, with an Ultra‑only rollout reported and its promo flagged for an AI‑content disclaimer.

Overview

  • Samsung has set Galaxy Unpacked for February 25 in San Francisco, where the Galaxy S26 lineup including the Ultra is expected to be unveiled.
  • An official teaser shows a “Zero‑peeking” switch that blocks side‑angle views, with per‑pixel control that can mask the entire screen or only elements like notifications.
  • Leaked settings screenshots describe Auto Privacy, a Maximum Privacy dimming option, and Privacy Triggers that can activate in crowded places, during sensitive apps, or for chosen screen areas.
  • Reporting indicates the Privacy Display requires specific display hardware and is likely limited to the S26 Ultra at launch rather than the S26 or S26+.
  • Other leaks point to 60W wired charging, a wider‑aperture 200MP main camera, and a new 12MP Sony selfie sensor with a wider field of view, plus an AI‑content disclaimer on Samsung’s promo and unconfirmed claims Apple may study the tech for MacBooks by 2029.
