2 weeks agoHere's the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra inside another case
Galaxy S26 Ultra features a raised oval camera island, may use Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600, while Samsung standardizes camera design.
You may have seen those privacy screen protectors that limit the viewing angles of the phone's (or laptop's) screen so that you can see it head on, but people off to the side can't peek over your shoulder. Samsung seems to have figured out how to achieve the same functionality without a special screen protector - and, more importantly, the feature can be toggled on or off as desired. Initially spotted inside One UI 8.5 code, the Privacy Display feature is described as such: "Limits screen visibility from side angles to protect your privacy in public."
As it's supposed to launch in January, Samsung is already very busy working on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and we've heard a lot of rumors about it recently. Today a new leak purports to bring us two shots of cases for the upcoming device. These most likely originate at the case maker itself, since such companies need to be given detailed dimensions for upcoming phones in order to have their accessories ready to launch at the same time.
The reason for this change is all about being able to fit better cameras into the body of the phone, apparently. And yet, we can't help but wonder whether the Korean company is once again being 'inspired' by an Apple design - the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will adopt a huge island themselves, and this has been rumored for many months now.
