Display and Design


Next-Gen Display Panels: The entire lineup will feature the latest M14 OLED panels, with peak brightness potentially soaring to 3,000 nits, ensuring exceptional visibility even under direct sunlight.

Ultra-Slim Bezels: By implementing BRS (Border Reduction Structure) technology, Samsung will further shrink the bottom and side bezels, achieving a nearly "borderless" full-screen visual experience.

Ultra Model Re-engineering: The S26 Ultra may pivot away from titanium in favor of high-thermal-conductivity aluminum. This shift aims to maximize heat dissipation, ensuring stable performance for the 2nm chipset during intensive tasks like high-end gaming or 8K video recording.


Disruptive Innovation: Built-in “Privacy Display”

Rumors suggest Samsung recently previewed a “new privacy protection layer” developed over five years. This combined hardware and software technology (potentially named Flex Magic Pixel) enables the S26 Ultra to conceal sensitive content from side angles, preventing peeping while maintaining clear screen visibility.


So do we also need a protector? 

The truth is, even the toughest gorilla glass can’t protect your eyes from Digital Eye Strain, nor can it absorb the shock of a drop onto a sidewalk. 

When a phone unfortunately falls onto asphalt or marble surfaces, the tempered glass screen protector acts as a sacrificial layer, shattering first. By fracturing itself, it absorbs and disperses the instantaneous impact force, thereby protecting the high-value original Samsung display. Replacing a screen protector costs only a few dozen dollars, whereas replacing an integrated Samsung display panel could cost over $400.

Additionally, while Samsung's system features an “Eye Comfort Mode,” it achieves this by adjusting software algorithms to yellow the screen. In contrast, blue light filter screen protectors like PERFECTSIGHT precisely absorb harmful high-energy short-wave blue light, effectively alleviating digital eye strain.
