All eyes are undoubtedly on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series launch on February 25, 2026. Now, ahead of launch, the brand has dropped a new teaser video for the upcoming flagships, highlighting the Privacy Display feature.
Samsung shows how Galaxy S26 Privacy Display blocks peeping eyes
This comes after Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S26 lineup will arrive with the Privacy Display feature last month. For those unaware, the Privacy Display feature on the upcoming Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra will help keep on-screen content hidden from bystanders. The teaser video was shared on YouTube by Samsung's US handle with the title "We don't scroll and tell".
In the video, we see how a commuter's phone screen instantly becomes unreadable to adjacent passengers once the feature is activated. The concept is rather straightforward but potentially transformative in everyday usage.
Rather than relying on physical privacy screen protectors that dim or blur the whole display, Samsung's solution embeds this privacy layer directly into the hardware and software of the phones. When switched on, the display limits what people at off-angles can see, effectively preventing shoulder surfers from catching a glance at sensitive content.
Early leaks also showcase how Samsung will use a FlexMagic Pixel display tech for this feature to work as intended.
If executed as hinted, the Privacy Display feature on the Galaxy S26 could become a standout selling point. For now, Samsung's teaser leaves consumers with a simple challenge, "Can your phone do that?"
