Samsung To Launch Galaxy S26 Ultra With AI-Powered Privacy And Security Features

Samsung has announced that it will soon unveil its new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, positioning it as a major step forward in mobile privacy and artificial intelligence.

The company said the device will be the world's first smartphone to feature an AI-powered privacy display, designed to protect sensitive user information in public spaces such as transport, cafes, and workplaces.

Unlike traditional privacy screens that dim the display to enhance security, Samsung's AI-driven technology limits side-angle visibility while maintaining screen brightness and touch sensitivity. This allows only the user directly facing the phone to clearly view its content.

Growing concerns over digital privacy have pushed smartphone makers to rethink screen security, as users increasingly access banking, work, and personal data in public environments.

AI integration has become a key battleground in the smartphone industry, with companies racing to deliver smarter, more personalized user experiences while maintaining control over sensitive data.

Samsung also plans to replace its Bixby digital assistant with the more advanced Perplexity AI system. The new assistant is expected to function similarly to leading AI chatbots, offering deeper personalization and more intuitive interactions.

The company said this move reflects a broader strategy to reduce reliance on external AI platforms and focus on developing proprietary, independent technologies.

Samsung expects the Galaxy S26 Ultra to launch on February 25, 2026, setting a new benchmark for smartphone security and AI-driven innovation as competition intensifies in the premium device market.
