Samsung’s Galaxy S26 launch is just days away, but a YouTuber managed to get a Galaxy S26 Ultra early and showed off the Privacy Display, design, and more.
Tech YouTuber Sahil Karoul posted on Twitter/X and Instagram that he purchased a Galaxy S26 Ultra in Dubai. Hands‑on images show the device on its own and compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and a (broken) Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The updated design looks nice in the white variant, though a post shows the S Pen sticking out oddly if inserted backwards. As expected, there’s no Bluetooth in the S Pen after it was removed last year — see the earlier report here.
Privacy Display
The biggest highlight is a first look at Samsung’s Privacy Display feature in action on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Similar to privacy screen protectors, enabling the feature makes the display turn black when viewed from off‑angles. It’s not yet clear whether the effect can be applied to specific portions of the screen, but it can be applied to the whole display. How it looks in person versus through a camera remains to be seen.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra, along with the rest of the series, will launch on February 25.
