In a recent press release, Samsung talked about "privacy at a pixel level" and protecting users from shoulder surfing when using their phones in public. This strongly suggests a display that looks normal when viewed straight on, but becomes harder to see from the sides. That idea matches earlier leaks, including an animation spotted in the One UI 8.5 beta that showed the screen darkening as the phone tilted left or right. The mention of pixel-level privacy is important because it hints that this is not just a software feature. Instead, it likely relies on new display hardware. According to SamMobile, it could be Samsung's Flex Magic Pixel OLED technology, which the company showed off at Mobile World Congress 2025.

Some early leaks claimed Samsung would use AI to control how the privacy display behaves. However, Samsung's announcement does not mention AI at all. What Samsung has clearly highlighted is customisation. Users will be able to decide which apps automatically turn on the privacy display. It can be set to be activated when you enter passwords or type into sensitive fields. "It took over five years of engineering, testing and refining to get here. We studied how people use their phones, what they consider private, and how security should feel in everyday life," the tech giant said. "The result is a fusion of hardware and software expertly calibrated to protect you without getting in your way."

It's important to note that Samsung has said the feature is "coming to Galaxy very soon" and specifically does not mention the Galaxy S26. However, it is highly likely the feature will launch with the Galaxy S26 series.
