S26 Ultra new Privacy Display

GusB — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 09:12:32 GMT

As rumoured, One UI 8.5 files are now starting to confirm a privacy display feature on the upcoming S26 Ultra which appears to adapt the display to prevent people from viewing from an angle - an interesting feature which im looking forward to experiencing.

Roll on February..!

I'd be more concerned about it's rounded off edges. Looking more like every other phone in the market, losing it's signature look. Awful strategy!
I'm more excited about the S26 plus having newer squared off edges. All they need to do now is make the plus with a 6.8 screen, add the same cameras as the ultra and watch those sales go off the charts..! They could easily make the spen work for the plus as well, and maybe it could be made available separately for those who want it including the ultra (if they want to make it lighter with more battery) otherwise the spen can simply do one 🙆🏻 😅
always had a soft spot for the plus. A bigger squared off version would be so wonderful. 🎉🥳

Edit: 1.40pm - 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

ok, maybe forget the usage of the spen for the plus, as the ultra still has to hold some appeal for the audience.

Everything else still stands 🙅🏻‍♂️💯

Nice feature, but I think Samsung should really be looking in to overhauling their camera system. It has always been behind Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi. However this year, even iphone 17 pro max has surpassed it. I would be happy not to have this feature but a 5500mah battery or better cameras.

Likely to be more incremental changes this year,cameras can excel in different areas though understand the demand for more significant upgrades.

Will be no significant change to Battery though efficiency can make a difference. Tipsters have mentioned that Samsung is testing 20000mah dual-cell silicon-carbon batteries. However will not be mass produced in the immediate future.https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/samsung-lounge/samsung-testing-big-battery-upgrade/td-p/13906058
