Privacy Protection Screen, Completely Dark on the Side… Photos Can Be Taken Clearly at 50x Zoom

Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra features a privacy display function that obscures the screen from side views, ensuring personal privacy while offering advanced photographic capabilities.

Samsung has introduced an innovative privacy display function in its Galaxy S26 Ultra, which makes the screen appear entirely black to anyone looking from the side, thereby protecting user privacy. This feature can be activated at all times or only when using sensitive applications like banking. Alongside this, the device boasts a large 6.9-inch display, a slim 7.9mm thickness, and various intelligent AI functionalities designed to enhance daily tasks.

A hands-on experience with the Galaxy S26 Ultra revealed that it is user-friendly, even for those accustomed to Apple’s iPhone for over a decade. It effectively captures photos and videos without shake, thanks to enhanced AI support for photography and daily management. The camera's capacity to zoom up to 100x is complemented by an AI that accurately identifies objects and helps frame shots, making it particularly appealing for photography enthusiasts. For instance, the camera captured the Lotte World Tower, located about 2.5 km away, in great detail even at night, demonstrating the impressive clarity and lack of distortion when zoomed at over 50x.

The AI features are notably robust, exemplified by the ability to transform a photo of a cat into a jungle setting upon request. The device continuously tracks user activities, integrating smoothly with messaging apps like KakaoTalk, and even prompts users to share photos they've taken. Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra combines cutting-edge technology with practical applications, catering to modern user needs while maintaining a focus on privacy.
