Samsung has released a short teaser highlighting a new privacy-focused display feature expected to debut with its next Galaxy smartphones, widely rumored to be the Galaxy S26 series. The company showcased the feature in a brief video ahead of its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for February 25 in San Francisco.
In a 15-second clip published on YouTube, Samsung demonstrates what it calls a “zero-peeking” privacy display. The video shows a smartphone user on a metro train activating the feature, which restricts screen visibility from side angles, preventing nearby commuters from viewing the content on the display. The teaser ends with the message: “Can your phone do that?”
Galaxy Unpacked Event Details
Samsung has confirmed that its next Galaxy Unpacked will take place on February 25 in San Francisco. The event is set to begin at 10 a.m. PT (11:30 p.m. IST) and will be livestreamed on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and Samsung’s official YouTube channel.
In its announcement, the company said the event will showcase its “newest Galaxy innovations,” positioning them as part of a broader push toward more personalized and adaptive AI-driven experiences.
While Samsung has not officially named the devices to be unveiled, industry speculation points to the launch of the Galaxy S26 series.
Pre-Reservations Open for Upcoming Galaxy Phone
Samsung has also opened pre-reservations for its upcoming Galaxy AI smartphone on its website. Customers who pre-reserve are eligible for a $30 credit upon pre-order and entry into a draw for a $5,000 Samsung.com gift card. The company is also offering up to $900 in additional savings with an eligible trade-in, or a $150 credit without a trade-in, for customers who reserve and pre-order through Samsung.com.
For customers in India, Samsung said pre-reservations can be secured with a refundable token amount of ₹999. Those who pre-reserve will receive exclusive benefits valued at ₹2,699 at the time of final purchase of what the company describes as its “next AI phone.”
Why It Matters
Privacy concerns related to on-screen visibility in public spaces have grown alongside increased smartphone use for work, payments, and personal communication. If introduced as shown, Samsung’s privacy display feature could offer a built-in alternative to traditional privacy screen protectors, with potential benefits for commuters and professionals who frequently use their phones in crowded environments.
Further details about the feature, including its availability and whether it will be standard across models, are expected to be revealed at the February 25 Galaxy Unpacked event.
