The Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected in February 2026, will reportedly carry a hardware-level privacy screen powered by Flex Magic Pixel technology — narrowing the viewing angle so that only the person holding the phone can see its contents. It is a small but telling gesture: the idea that protection from unwanted eyes need not be an afterthought, but a foundation.
