Galaxy S26 Ultra just surfaced in the wild, with Privacy Display on full display

A tech YouTuber seems to have gotten his hands on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra just days ahead of Unpacked. With Samsung’s latest flagship in hand, creator Sahil Karoul has shared a short clip demonstrating how the company’s new Privacy Display feature works. The video shows him activating the feature and viewing the phone from different angles to check how effective it is in real-world use.

Karoul’s video shows the Galaxy S26 Ultra with the regular Privacy display switched on, but we can also see a “Maximum privacy protection” toggle that might further obscure screen visibility when activated. Unfortunately, the YouTuber hasn’t shared any videos with maximum protection switched on.

Nevertheless, Privacy Display is perhaps one of the most leaked new features of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. A while back, Samsung also officially revealed how the feature is a pixel-level solution that keeps the display and its contents private from shoulder surfers.

Galaxy users will be able to apply privacy protections to specific apps as well as PINs and other sensitive inputs. Users will also be able to limit what’s visible in notification pop-ups and set the feature to activate automatically in public places.

We’ll get a more detailed look at how Privacy Display works in just a couple of days, but this sneak peek serves as a neat little teaser for anyone looking forward to the feature.
