The Galaxy S26 will feature a new pixel-level privacy screen to block side-angle views. The underlying mechanism keeps the display clear when viewed head-on, but it dims or becomes unreadable when viewed from side angles. Samsung positions this privacy screen as part of its broader Knox and Knox Vault security ecosystems. At this time, it remains unclear whether the feature will be available across the entire Galaxy S26 lineup or only in the high-end Ultra model. Samsung is expected to officially launch the S26 series near the end of February, most likely on February 25.
