When enabled, visuals are clear for the user while limiting what others can see when looking at the screen from the side \u2014 perfect when you\u2019re traveling or in other public places.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike aftermarket stick-on privacy screen covers, the Privacy Display on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/smartphones\/galaxy-s26-ultra\/buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> offers protection without compromising the viewing experience during everyday use.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedded product-module\">\n\t\t<a id=\"product-module-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/smartphones\/galaxy-s26-ultra\/buy\/\" title=\"Galaxy S26 Series\" class=\"snr-article_product-image\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/01202144\/2026-Product-Banner-Refresh-1.png\" alt=\"Galaxy S26 Series\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<h5><strong>How does Privacy Display work?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Integrated directly into the display hardware, Privacy Display on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/smartphones\/galaxy-s26-ultra\/buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> controls how the screen\u2019s pixels disperse light, limiting the visibility from side angles when turned on, while preserving the full display experience from any direction when it\u2019s off.
