The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a new “Privacy Display” feature that limits viewing angles to protect on-screen content. However, both tests and user feedback suggest it can reduce screen brightness compared to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in some situations.
Samsung has acknowledged that brightness may vary at certain angles – especially at maximum brightness – but says the impact should be minimal in everyday use. Still, some reviewers and users remain unconvinced, noting visible dimming and questioning overall display quality.
