Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra was never going to be an easy phone to sell on dramatic upgrades alone. A lot of the early conversation around the device focused on how little had changed compared with the previous model, with the new Privacy Display feature standing out as one of the few headline additions. On paper, that sounds useful enough: it narrows viewing angles so people beside you have a harder time peeking at your screen. But now, for some users, that same display is becoming the main reason they are unhappy with the phone.

Samsung has dropped a new ad ahead of the Galaxy S26 launch, and it strongly points to a built-in "privacy display" mode that's designed to stop people nearby from reading your screen. The ad shows a simple "Zero-peeking privacy" toggle being switched on, and the content becomes unreadable to anyone viewing from the side

Samsung has just pulled the curtain back on a new twist to its QD-OLED lineup, called QD-OLED Penta Tandem. If that name sounds like a marketing bingo card, the idea behind it is actually pretty practical: it's a new way of stacking OLED light-emitting layers so the display can get brighter, more efficient, and sharper, without needing to increase the physical size of the panel.
