Description:
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could have two new screen technologies,
improving the display quality and reducing the ability for people to snoop.

FULL STORY ======================================================================The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could use a new technology called Flex Magic Pixel This would allow AI to control the pixels in the screen, leaving the contents hidden at certain angles So could allow you to view things you'd rather keep private, even while other people are around

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could be the first phone to ship with a new privacy-protecting feature that uses AI to stop people snooping on your screen.

According to DealSite (via @Jukanlosreve ) citing industry sources, Samsung plans to equip the Galaxy S26 Ultras screen with a new technology called Flex Magic Pixel. This feature would use AI to control the pixels in the screen so that the display is only visible from specific angles.

The result would be something a bit like the privacy-protecting screen protectors you can already apply to phones, which keep the content of your screen hidden from people who arent viewing it straight on. However, Flex Magic Pixel apparently wouldnt have the same drawbacks as these screen protectors, which can often reduce the image quality or brightness.

So with Flex Magic Pixel you could keep sensitive and personal data to yourself, without sacrificing screen quality. This could be particularly useful for anyone who relies on public transport, as otherwise the people around you may well snoop on your screen. But it could be a reassuring
feature for anyone.

And while wed take the claim of this coming to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with a pinch of salt, this is actually a tech that Samsung has already shown off, so it exists and it would make sense for Samsung to bring it to a phone. Multiple tech on multiple phones Samsung's next foldables could also get this (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future)

In any case, these sources claim that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the only member of the Samsung Galaxy S26 line to get Flex Magic Pixel, but they add that its likely the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 will also get it.

In the same report, they add that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely to also have CoE (Color Filter on Encapsulation). This would mean removing its OLED screens polarizer and replacing it with a color filter a change that could make the screen slimmer while improving color reproduction and reducing power consumption.

Samsung already uses this tech in its foldable phones, but so far it hasnt
yet been used in a non-foldable phone. So if the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
does have both of these screen upgrades then it could have some significant advantages over rival handsets.

Well probably find out for sure whether it has these in January or February, as thats likely when the Samsung Galaxy S26 line will launch.

which sounds too good to be true but I hope it is The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could take much better low-light photos and charge slightly faster
