Samsung's privacy feature makes it difficult to see certain parts of your smartphone screen when you look at it from an angle.
Users can choose what information they want to protect, such as hiding the lock screen, notification popups, or specific apps.
Samsung hasn't released any details, saying only that it will be coming to Galaxy devices soon.
Samsung's One UI 8.5 beta has been testing a feature called 'Privacy Display,' which dims the screen when you tilt the phone left or right. This is thought to be the official implementation.
The anti-peeping feature, known internally as 'Flex Magic Pixel,' is expected to be included in the Galaxy S26 series, which will be released in 2026. Korean media outlet DealSite reported that it will only be applied to the top-of-the-line Ultra model.
Samsung says that 'pixel-level privacy is achieved through hardware and software protection,' so it is believed that the hardware must also be compatible for the anti-peeping feature to work.
