We are about to introduce the new Galaxy S26, which will be unveiled at the next Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25; and allow us to inform you in detail about one of the most important features that will be introduced.
Samsung named this feature as “Privacy Display” (“Pantalla de Privatidad”)and we promise that it will be one of the most practical and used in these new terminals, although it may not be available on all models.
This technology is specially designed Avoid the “curious looks” of other people they can see your panel, so only the user directly in front of the device can see the content.
To explain, Samsung implemented Flex Magic Pixel technologydeveloped by Samsung Display, which adjusts the angle of the pixels on the screen to limit the visible angles.
Simply put, when this technology is activated adjust the viewing angle of each pixel separatelyensuring that they can only be seen from the front; from any other angle the panel will appear black.
Samsung has launched a new video on social media and YouTube that demonstrates the latest trends in this technology and how it can be used, titled “Can you do it over the phone?”.
In the video, the user is shown reading a book on her cellphone while two people try to learn from each other; activate the privacy feature, the panel is darkened and hides the content to everyone except the device user.
Of course, privacy is not a new concept in the smartphone world; It’s common to find screen protectors that offer a similar effect, displaying a black screen from any angle you’re not looking at, at a 90-degree angle.
Regardless, these filters present certain desventajas; reduce the image quality by adding an additional head and reducing the gloss contained in the optimal angles. Adamas, Once installed, the filter must be used continuouslywhich forces you to always look at the movement ahead.
On the contrary, Samsung’s solution is much more flexible, as shown in the promotional video, It can be activated and deactivated as needed in different situations.
Moreover, since this technology affects individual shaped pixels, it will also be possible Configure privacy for different areas of the screen independently.
This means that, for example, you can configure this feature to hide only notifications that contain sensible information, so that the rest of the screen is normally visible.
Ice Universe has shared a video showing how this private panel app works on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, showing how notification content is hidden from the camera.
