Samsung has released an advertisement for its upcoming Galaxy S26 launch that seemingly confirms rumors of a new display with a built-in privacy mode, according to The Verge. Leaked videos show the feature could black out content from specific apps or parts of the display when viewed at an angle. The ad, shared by The Verge, suggests the tech will be a key feature of the new phone.
The Verge reported that the advertisement, which was released recently, shows a woman reading a racy message on her phone, with the screen obscuring the content when viewed from the side. This feature, if implemented, would allow users to maintain privacy while using their phones in public. The leak was shared by Ice Universe, who has a history of sharing accurate information about upcoming Samsung products.
