Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra display may have more tricks up its sleeve
We’ve known for months that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to debut with a useful new feature known as Privacy Display, which Samsung has already begun teasing. Early information suggested that the entire screen can be configured to automatically or manually obscure content from prying eyes.
According to the highly reliable leaker Ice Universe on X, it might also be possible to shield only specific areas of the display. For instance, this would allow pop-ups with sensitive information, like passwords or access codes, to be hidden from people nearby, whilst the rest of the display remains visible. Since Samsung’s Privacy Display uses pixels with adjustable viewing angles, it can selectively darken portions of the display for anyone viewing the screen at an angle.
10-bit rather than 8-bit display
No less crucially, the launch of the Galaxy S26 Ultra may also mark the long-awaited debut of another premium display feature in a Samsung phone. Ice Universe has stated with full confidence that the new Samsung M14 panel supports 10-bit colour. A 10-bit display can render drastically more colours than an 8-bit screen, increasing the palette from 16.7 million to 1.07 billion. This enables far more natural colour gradients, though some 8-bit displays use Frame Rate Control (FRC) to help them deliver better colour performance than their non-FRC counterparts.
