Samsung is expected to give the Galaxy S26 Ultra two screen upgrades that will change how you use your phone every day. Rather than chasing higher refresh rates or pixel counts, these improvements focus on privacy and real-world visibility — small changes that make a big difference.
Privacy Display: a built-in shield for prying eyes
Leaked details and hints from Samsung point to a new Privacy Display that narrows the screen’s viewing angles so only the person directly in front of the phone sees the content clearly. Imagine checking your banking app or replying to a message on a crowded train without worrying about shoulder surfers — but without the washed-out colors or dimming you get from clip-on privacy filters.
This isn’t just about manual on/off toggles. Expect Samsung to offer quick enable options and possible automatic activation for selected apps (banking, messaging, password managers). The result: a privacy shield that’s seamless, fast, and preserves the vividness Samsung is known for.

Gorilla Armor: tougher glass and far fewer reflections
Gorilla Armor glass is likely returning to the S26 Ultra after debuting on the S24 Ultra and sticking with the S25 Ultra. The headline benefits are improved scratch and drop resistance, but its anti-reflective properties may be the everyday win. Less glare means better outdoor readability and less eyestrain under bright lights — no more hunting for the perfect tilt to read a message in sunlight.
Samsung hasn’t shouted about this feature as loudly as it could, but it quietly improves the viewing experience every time you pick up the phone. Ideally, anti-reflective tech would trickle down to more Galaxy models — Apple applied similar coatings across its iPhone 17 range — but for now Gorilla Armor looks set to remain an Ultra-level advantage.
- Privacy Display: restricts side viewing without dimming colors or brightness.
- Gorilla Armor: stronger glass with reduced reflections for easier outdoor use.
- Smart activation options: privacy mode may auto-enable for sensitive apps.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup in late February, with rumors pointing to an event around the 25th. If the leaks are right, the S26 Ultra will offer a more private, more readable, and tougher display — upgrades you’ll notice in daily use more than any spec sheet number.
