I used to feel the same way, but I have found a use for it that Samsung never talks about.
My wife used to complain about the light from my phone when she went to sleep before me. Now I have the privacy set to go on automatically every night at 9:30 and she says it never bothers her any more.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying: Samsung consistently develops relevant, meaningful features—like the privacy display and anti-reflective screen technology—that actually make a difference. While other manufacturers focus on superficial updates like wallpapers or themes, Samsung’s commitment to genuine innovation truly sets them apart. Can't wait to see what the S27 series will bring and an update to the privacy display. As I have been saying, these are features worth copying that add an upgrade to the user experience.
Samsung had nothing to do with the development of the Anti-reflective glass. Corning invented it, Samsung just bought it and added it to their flagship.
The privacy screen is a gimmick, and does not work.
You are mistaken; Samsung collaborated with Corning to develop and patent that technology, which is precisely why other OEMs had to wait two years to implement it. I own the S26 Ultra and use the privacy display regularly, so could you please explain why you consider it a gimmick? It must be quite useful if other manufacturers like Xiaomi are now adopting it, and I am confident others will follow suit—feel free to prove me wrong.
The Privacy Glass has already been tested and proven to be a waste of time. If someone is near you, they can see your screen. The only thing that will prevent unwanted viewing, is if someone is outside of the phone's viewing angle so the screen can't be seen. But if they are at such an extreme angle, the privacy screen isn't doing anything anyway. All it does is increase eye strain, and ruin the screen.
That is your opinion, and I respect it. In my experience, I have it configured to activate automatically when I input passwords, PINs, or log into banking apps—or any scenario where I need to be more aware of my surroundings—and it works perfectly for me. The best part is that it is optional, so it doesn't negatively impact my daily usage. I have used the S26 Ultra since launch and have not experienced any eye strain at all.

I will die on that hill of this being a gimmicky feature.

Anything else I can disprove for you?
