Samsung's new privacy display features reappear before Galaxy Unpacked showcase
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to introduce a built-in privacy display, which the company teased at the end of January. Shortly afterwards, other display details emerged via a renowned leaker. Now, leaked screenshots have provided a more detailed picture of how Samsung's privacy display could work.
As 9to5Google notes, these screenshots originally surfaced in October. Repackaged without attribution and re-shared, the screenshots indicate that Samsung plans to offer numerous customisation options at launch. For instance, October's leak showed an option for triggering privacy display only in public places.
Based on the AI-generated video below, this setting has made it into One UI 8.5 release software. Thus, we can reasonably suspect that Samsung has also integrated other settings, such as custom conditions and the option to prevent showing your screen lock.
Currently, sources like Ice Universe predict that this software will remain a Galaxy S26 Ultra exclusive. Thus, even the Galaxy Z Fold7 (curr. $1,039.99 - refurbished on Amazon) is unlikely to receive them despite being a current-generation flagship. Samsung will present the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy Buds 4 series on February 25 during its next Galaxy Unpacked event.
