It's become almost a tradition for Samsung to be first out of the blocks with its top-tier flagship phone each year. While the 2026 calendar has been somewhat muddled, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra on review here arriving a little later than usual, it's still the handset to bring a new and exciting prospect to the phone market.
If you followed Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, then you'll know about the S26 Ultra's debut of an all-new panel technology feature, called Privacy Display. Right now, no other phone can offer this hardware, bringing the ability to limit viewing angles to prevent would-be snoopers from seeing your content. It can be applied per-app or even to pop-up notifications only.
