The Samsung S26 Ultra may not be as flashy as the company’s Galaxy Z Fold7 foldable smartphone, nor as attention-grabbing as the Galaxy Z Flip7. It doesn’t fold, flip, or even try to reinvent how you physically use a phone. Just looking at the specifications, the S26 Ultra looks like a continuation of what Samsung has already been doing for the past few years – a familiar slab that was refined rather than reimagined.
But after using it as my main phone for about a week, that’s not really what stuck with me.
Interestingly, it wasn’t the camera (which is actually pretty good) or even the usual performance gains you’d expect from a yearly refresh. What I kept noticing, almost every day, was the Privacy Display.
And I didn’t think I would care about it.
