Galaxy S26 Ultra included in Time’s ‘best inventions of 2026’ for Privacy Display, 9to5Google reports

9to5Google reports that Time’s “best inventions of 2026” collection includes the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, with the recognition focused on the phone’s Privacy Display rather than performance. According to the article, the listing quotes Samsung’s SVP of Mobile Product Management on the feature’s flexible nature.

The report says the Privacy Display can block side-angle viewing and can also obscure isolated portions of the screen, such as PIN codes or notifications from Android’s top shade. 9to5Google notes that the feature can be inconsistent in certain lighting conditions and that some screen elements can look off.

The saved article also says Time’s piece lists devices including the iPhone Duo and Clicks Power Keyboard, and that rumors suggest a Privacy Display could come to the Galaxy S27 Pro or Ultra.
