Samsung has hinted at a new display feature designed to enhance smartphone privacy, aiming to protect users from prying eyes in crowded public spaces.
The company recently teased what it describes as “a new layer of privacy” that will help shield phone screens from shoulder surfing while on the move.
Unlike traditional privacy screen protectors that rely on physical filters and often reduce brightness or viewing angles, Samsung’s upcoming solution appears to be software-based and highly customizable. Rather than functioning as a simple on-or-off toggle, the feature will allow users to activate privacy protection selectively.
According to the teaser, users will be able to enable the privacy display for specific apps, during moments when sensitive information is entered, or even for pop-up notifications.
This approach could offer stronger privacy without the common compromises associated with conventional privacy screen protectors.
Samsung has shared multiple teasers highlighting the feature, fueling speculation ahead of its next major hardware launch.
Rumours suggest the company is planning an event on February 25, where it is expected to unveil its next-generation Galaxy smartphones, making this an ideal time to preview new display technology.
Additional details about the privacy screen feature have also surfaced through leaks shared by well-known tipster Ice Universe, further suggesting that Samsung is preparing to make privacy a core focus of its upcoming devices.
While Samsung has not yet revealed full technical details, the feature could offer a more flexible and user-friendly alternative to physical privacy accessories. More information is expected to be announced at the company’s upcoming launch event.
