Privacy Display stops prying eyes

Samsung has introduced a new layer of privacy protection that makes it harder for curious onlookers to peek at your screen, no matter where you are. You can read messages and enter passwords on public transit without worrying about who's watching. The new S26 Ultra features the Privacy Display screen protection.

If you use your phone for work, this is excellent news. Your workday can now start during your morning commute without risking company secrets falling into the wrong hands. For frequent business travelers, this has been long awaited. No more looking over your shoulder when working on your phone while traveling. Privacy Display reduces screen brightness to increase privacy and combines with Flex Magic Pixel technology that makes the screen harder to view from the side.

Not all companies and roles require the same level of protection. That's why you can customize which apps and information should be protected. With options for how visible the screen should be, you can easily limit what others can see, depending on how much privacy you and your work require. You can choose between four levels of privacy protection and activate them when needed.

This specialized screen could become a new standard in mobile technology given the security risks we face in public environments. For work phones, it's perfect!

AI-powered phone that understands your workday and works proactively

The new S26 models help you manage your time by suggesting when to leave the office, automatically booking transportation, and providing relevant recommendations based on location, calendar, and your preferences. Important calls from colleagues and contacts are prioritized, while scams and spam are blocked.

You get quick information directly from what's displayed on screen without interrupting your workflow, and stay updated through smart summaries of previous conversations. All powered by robust hardware and a battery that lasts the entire workday.

Overall, it's an intelligent, reliable, and efficient work phone that reduces friction and lets you focus on your job rather than your device.

Galaxy S26 is a powerful work phone for creating images and video

Regardless of lighting conditions, you get sharp, natural images that work directly in professional settings. With AI-assisted image editing, you can remove distractions, enhance details, or create missing elements in seconds – all directly on your phone.

You can zoom without losing sharpness, capture motion without blur, and take professional-level portraits. The high performance and long-lasting battery let you produce and edit content throughout the workday without interruption.

The result is an efficient all-in-one camera for work – from first shot to finished material, directly on your phone.

Full control and security in your work routine

Your workday is protected by built-in AI security and Samsung Knox, with full control over how AI is used and how your data is shared. Smart privacy features let you work confidently on trains, planes, and in cafés without others seeing more than they should. The lightweight yet durable design fits comfortably in your hand all day, and with smart accessories, the phone becomes an even stronger work tool.

The Galaxy S26 series is a set of secure and flexible work phones that adapt to how, when, and where you work.
