"How Samsung achieves this is through pixel-level light control, adjusting its OLED emission so that light only shines toward the user when facing directly at the phone screen. As you pan left and right, the part of the Privacy Display that you can set to block sensitive notifications, 2FA codes, and more fades to black. Notably, the feature wouldn't reduce the phone's overall brightness or color depth, unlike a physical privacy screen protector."
"We're still waiting for Samsung to announce when and where its next Unpacked event will happen, but a recent feature teaser is already getting me excited for the expected Galaxy S26 series and One UI 8.5. There's no official name for the feature yet, so let's call it Privacy Display -- and it's going to be a big deal for both regular consumers and business users."
A confirmed Samsung feature called Privacy Display will block portions of a phone screen when viewed at an angle to prevent onlookers from seeing sensitive content. The feature uses pixel-level light control to direct OLED emission toward the user and locally dim sections of the display as the phone is panned. Users can set which screen areas are protected and can turn the feature off. The system preserves overall brightness and color depth unlike physical privacy protectors. The feature is expected to debut with the Galaxy S26 series and One UI 8.5.
