Samsung has revealed a broad roadmap for its 2026 smartphones, teasing slimmer, lighter, and new form factors.

Samsung's next Unpacked event is rumored to be happening in February and will feature the launch of the company's Galaxy S26 phones.

The tech dims or completely cloaks the phone's pixels if you view the screen from a side angle.

Leaked images of Samsung's 25W Magnet Wireless Charger suggest the Galaxy S26 will finally feature built-in magnets for Qi2 support.

In a probably-related development, recent leaks all but confirmed that an innovative "Privacy Display" feature is coming to the S26 phones. It seems pretty likely that the features are one and the same, but if so, it would be fairly underwhelming, since we already know about Privacy Display.

Samsung's Galaxy A37 leak shows a near-identical sequel to the A36, repeating the look, colors, and components, raising questions about creativity in the budget segment.

Samsung said that the upcoming feature will let you protect selected parts of the screen like notification popup area.

Galaxy S26 introduces Samsung's Privacy Display, a built-in screen technology that dynamically limits side viewing angles for apps, passwords, and notifications.
