The new Privacy Display feature on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra makes it significantly harder for people to sneak a look at your phone. In fact, from some angles, all those prying eyes will be able to see is a blank screen. More impressively, Samsung has set up Privacy Display in a way to block certain parts of your screen but not others. That means it can black out notifications from side angles, without blacking out the entire screen.
That being said, there have been a number of complaints from S26 Ultra owners that the Privacy Display feature is causing headaches and eye strain. Still, I've found it to be one of the best features of Samsung's new phone.
