Samsung is preparing a “magic” screen that hides your content from prying eyes

It is information from South Korea which draws the contours of a major innovation for the future flagship of Samsung. According to the media DealSitethe Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the brand’s first smartphone to integrate a new display technology called « Flex Magic Pixel ». Far from being a simple gadget, it is a hardware and software solution to protect the privacy of the user.

Flex Magic Pixel: an integrated and intelligent confidentiality filter

Already presented by Samsung Display during the MWC 2024 and more recently at the K-DISPLAY 2025 fair, this technology is a dynamic confidentiality filter integrated directly into the OLED panel. It allows Check the screen vision angles Thanks to an adjustment of the pixels controlled by the AI.

Concretely, when you activate the function, the screen becomes illegible for anyone looking at the sides, as with a physical filter, but without the disadvantages of loss of brightness or image quality for the user. Once deactivated, the slab finds its large viewing angles.

COE: Innovation essential to make magic possible

To integrate “Flex Magic Pixel”, Samsung would introduce another advanced technology: the CoE (Color Filter on Encapsulation). The ultra galaxy s26 would be the first “bar” smartphone (not foldable) to benefit from it.

This technology, which Samsung uses on its foldable from the Z Fold 3, consists in replacing the polarizing film of the screen with a color filter. There are many advantages: the screen is finer, the transmission of light is better (which Reduces energy consumption) and color rendering is improved.

The link between the two technologies is essential. “Flex Magic Pixel”, restricting the light on the sides, can lead to a slight loss of brightness. COE technology, by increasing the overall light transmission of the slab, comes compensate for this loss And allows the confidentiality function to activate without compromising the display quality for the user.

Exclusive to the Ultra model, in a reorganized S26 range

According to DealSitethis innovation will be reserved for the most high -end model, the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The Galaxy S26 series is expected for the start of next year. It could experience a certain reminiment, especially in terms of its nomenclature since one could go from “S26, S26+, S26 Ultra” to “S26 Pro, S26 Air, S26 Ultra”.
