ALBAWABA - The Samsung S26 Ultra is here, and it's already the talk of social media after the Korean tech giant unveiled its new privacy display feature that keeps eyes away from your screen.
Now, S26 Ultra users will no longer need to install a third-party privacy screen protector. According to Gsmarena, the latest flagship device from Samsung will ship with the newest Qualcomm flagship chip and the fastest charging on a Galaxy to date.
However, users state that when the feature is turned on, the screen's crisp AMOLED display will dim, degrading its quality. This is an issue that also occurs with users who install a third party private screen protector on other devices.
A social media user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Unfortunately it affects the display quality once u switch it on."
Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee was impressed with Samsung's latest technology and wrote, "Galaxy S26 Ultra's new "privacy display" feature is pretty damn cool."
