Foreign media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, have lauded Samsung Electronics' new Galaxy S26 series, particularly its innovative privacy display technology.
The WSJ specifically called the privacy display a "victory for hardware" and urged Apple to adopt similar secure screen technology as soon as possible. While the privacy display received widespread praise for enhancing user security, some critics noted that the hardware upgrades over the previous Galaxy S25 model were minor.
Other outlets like The Verge highlighted the impressive implementation of the privacy display on the S26 Ultra, and Android Central praised the deep integration of AI features. However, publications such as Gizmodo and Les Numériques suggested that the overall hardware advancements were incremental, despite acknowledging the welcome privacy screen innovation.
The article indicates a general consensus that while the privacy display is a significant step forward, the overall product line might not represent a radical departure from its predecessor.
