One of the standout additions is the Privacy Screen, built using the Flex Magic Pixel OLED display. The feature ensures that screen content is not visible from side angles, protecting sensitive information from prying eyes. Samsung has emphasised that the Privacy Screen is designed to safeguard personal data, including passwords and financial details, in public spaces such as buses or elevators. Animated teasers shared by tipster @IceUniverse showed how screen content appears to vanish when viewed from certain angles.
