The wait for Samsung’s next Unpacked event is almost over. However, it seems we don’t have to wait any longer to see the upcoming flagship in the wild. YouTuber Sahil Karoul has managed to get his hands on a Galaxy S26 Ultra ahead of the official launch, giving us a clear view of its final design and one of its most anticipated security features: Privacy Display.

YouTuber leaks Galaxy S26 Ultra hands-on on White before Unpacked

In a series of images shared on his X/Twitter account, the YouTuber showcased the device in its new white color variant. In real-world lighting, the finish appears remarkably clean and polished. Many fans had concerns about the build quality, especially since rumors suggest Samsung might be moving from a titanium frame back to an aluminum one. However, according to Karoul, the phone still feels as premium in the hand as its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

To give a better sense of scale and aesthetics, the leak includes side-by-side comparisons with other current heavyweights. The list includes the iPhone 17 Pro, the OnePlus 15, and the Vivo X300 Pro. The white S26 Ultra stands out because it looks “pristine” while still being simple and classy.

Privacy Display in action

A short video showing the “Privacy Display” feature in action is probably the most interesting part of this leak. For years, users who wanted to keep prying eyes away from their sensitive data had to buy specialized matte screen protectors. These often dulled the screen’s brightness and vivid colors.

This new software-hardware hybrid feature allows the screen to become unreadable from side angles. It effectively blocks anyone standing next to or behind you from seeing what is on your display. The best part? It preserves the screen’s clarity for the person looking at it directly. So, you won’t need third-party accessories that compromise visual quality.

If you were hoping to see this privacy feature arrive on older models via a software update, there is some disappointing news. According to technical leaks, this capability relies on the specific properties of the OLED M14 technology used in the Galaxy S26 series. Previous generations, including the S25 lineup, use the older M13 panels. This tech lacks the hardware foundation necessary to drive this specialized viewing angle control.
