As Samsung unveils three new smartphones, DAVE SNELLING says one model's clever tech allows you to shield what you view from prying eyes

SAMSUNG has lifted the lid on a trio of new Galaxy S26 smartphones, and one has a unique feature its rivals can't beat. The S26 Ultra is not only thinner and faster than before, but it also has a privacy display, which blocks prying eyes from seeing what's on the screen.

Once activated in the settings, content magically disappears if you aren't staring directly at the phone. That means strangers next to you on the train or bus won't be able to have a cheeky glance at what you are doing. It can even be set to block out specific apps or certain notifications.
