"Last month, Samsung teased that it will add "a new layer of privacy" to the Galaxy S26 Ultra with the new privacy screen feature. Now the company has shared a short video demonstrating how it works - it can make the whole screen or specific parts of it appear black when viewed from the side, without affecting legibility for you. Here's the video. In this case the whole screen gets blacked out for any unwanted onlookers when the Zero-peeking privacy toggle is enabled."
"What's interesting is that the phone has per-pixel control over this feature and can only black out notifications with sensitive info. You will be able to choose how this is controlled - you will be able to toggle it on or off manually or let the phone toggle it automatically, for example, when you go outside. This feature is apparently so cool that Apple wants it too - Ice Universe says that it will be featured on MacBooks in 2029."
The Galaxy S26 Ultra will include a privacy display that can darken the entire screen or select pixels to obscure content when viewed from an angle while remaining legible to the user. The feature supports per-pixel control to hide only notifications containing sensitive information. Users can enable Zero-peeking manually or allow automatic toggling based on context, such as going outdoors. The capability has attracted interest from other manufacturers, with a report claiming Apple plans to add similar hardware to MacBooks in 2029. Existing laptop implementations enable whole-screen privacy, unlike the selective masking offered by the S26 Ultra. The S26 series debuts February 25.
