NICE SHOT: The cameras, using AI, are stunners

AS time wears on, it’s getting harder and harder for phone-makers to come up with anything new for their traditional handsets.

An upgraded processor, a better camera and a nicer screen are all givens. Even Al advancements fail to turn heads much these days.

That’s why it’s nice to see something genuinely new from one of the big-hitters this week Samsung launched its flagship S26 series of phones with a fairly minor innovation which is certainly neat and useful. A “Privacy Display”.

Now we all use our phones in almost every situation we find ourselves in - both public and private. But we all also must have had the uncomfortable feeling that whoever is next to us might be giving our screen the side-eye and clocking what we're up to.

Which is unwelcome at best, and potentially dangerous at worst.
