																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics today announced the One UI 9 beta program, launching this week beginning with the Galaxy S26 series. Built on the new Android 17, One UI 9 beta delivers expanded creative tools, customization options, a more accessible mobile experience and stronger protection against potential security threats.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The full experience of One UI 9 will be introduced with upcoming Galaxy flagship devices later this year, which will include advanced AI features that will make mobile interaction easy and effortless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s New in One UI 9 Beta</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img class="wp-image-173900" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/12152351/Samsung-Mobile-One-UI-9-Beta-Galaxy-S26-series_main1.jpg" alt="Samsung Electronics today announced the One UI 9 beta program, launching this week beginning with the Galaxy S26 series." width="1000" height="560" /></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One UI 9 beta introduces several updates across key areas of the mobile experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Samsung Notes</strong><sup class="fn" data-fn="1f8ce992-b43b-45b5-be46-45ac79693420"><a id="1f8ce992-b43b-45b5-be46-45ac79693420-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/samsung-launches-one-ui-9-beta-for-galaxy-s26-series-users#1f8ce992-b43b-45b5-be46-45ac79693420">1</a></sup><span> </span>gains creative new tools, including decorative tapes and a wider variety of pen line styles. Meanwhile, the<span> </span><strong>Contacts</strong><span> </span>app now offers direct access to Creative Studio<sup class="fn" data-fn="2088bdc9-4322-4172-b2c6-b03807b44a7f"><a id="2088bdc9-4322-4172-b2c6-b03807b44a7f-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-launches-one-ui-9-beta-for-galaxy-s26-series-users#2088bdc9-4322-4172-b2c6-b03807b44a7f">2</a></sup><span> </span>for creating personalized profile cards without the need to switch between apps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The updated<span> </span><strong>Quick Panel</strong><sup class="fn" data-fn="bf87713d-60bb-47dc-b0f2-a2a70ef33db1"><a id="bf87713d-60bb-47dc-b0f2-a2a70ef33db1-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/samsung-launches-one-ui-9-beta-for-galaxy-s26-series-users#bf87713d-60bb-47dc-b0f2-a2a70ef33db1">3</a></sup><span> </span>gives users greater control over its layout. Brightness, sound and media player are each independently adjustable, with more size options to suit individual preferences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Accessibility is significantly improved by an adjustable<span> </span><strong>Mouse Key</strong><span> </span>speed that enables smoother cursor control and a combined<span> </span><strong>TalkBack</strong><span> </span>package that brings together features previously offered separately by Google and Samsung. The new<span> </span><strong>Text Spotlight</strong><span> </span>feature — which displays selected text larger or more clearly in a floating window — has also been added to make reading easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One UI 9 also introduces enhanced protection against suspicious apps and potential threats: when new high-risk apps are detected, it now warns users, blocks execution and installation, and recommends deletion through security policy updates.<sup class="fn" data-fn="8773ee5d-30ab-4f2c-b86a-18e4f2323ed7"><a id="8773ee5d-30ab-4f2c-b86a-18e4f2323ed7-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/samsung-launches-one-ui-9-beta-for-galaxy-s26-series-users#8773ee5d-30ab-4f2c-b86a-18e4f2323ed7">4</a></sup></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Availability</h3>
<p>The One UI 9 beta program will be available to Galaxy S26 series users in select markets, including Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the U.K. and the U.S starting this week. Galaxy S26 series users can apply to join the beta program via the Samsung Members app.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beyond high resolution, video trends are shifting toward mood and emotional storytelling. Samsung Electronics debuted the <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-beyond-the-shot-how-the-apv-codec-powers-the-full-mobile-video-experience-on-galaxy-s26-ultra" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec</a>on Galaxy S26 Ultra, laying the groundwork for mobile video production while maintaining image quality and minimizing loss during editing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In response, Samsung asked a simple question — can anyone create Hollywood-style videos on a Galaxy mobile phone? The answer is the Cinematic Look-Up Table (Cine LUT) feature on the Galaxy S26 series. While the<a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/editorial-how-apv-is-elevating-mobile-video-to-professional-standards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">APV codec </a>provides the foundation for cinema-quality video, Cine LUT brings a distinct color style to the footage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cine LUT makes professional-level color grading — once reserved for experts — accessible to anyone. Samsung collaborated with internal teams and external specialists to bring the feature to life. The Mobile eXperience (MX) Business led final camera implementation, Samsung Research developed core video processing technologies and U5K Imageworks — a colorist studio behind globally recognized productions — helped shape its visual aesthetic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the introduction of the APV codec, which delivers a visually lossless level of image quality, Samsung Newsroom spoke with three key developers behind Cine LUT — Sugon Baek of the Camera Image Quality R&amp;D Group at the MX Business, Bomi Kim of the Reality Media Lab at Samsung Research and Taesik Eom, CEO of U5K Imageworks — to hear the story of its creation.</p>

<h3>Q. What is a LUT? What sets Cine LUT on the Galaxy S26 series apart?</h3>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> <span style="font-size: 16px;">A LUT is essentially a “map” that transforms one set of colors into a desired look. Unlike conventional filters that simply overlay color, Cine LUT reinterprets Samsung Log</span><sup class="fn" data-fn="c41f569d-b7ed-4de5-94a8-f6b08d940145"><a id="c41f569d-b7ed-4de5-94a8-f6b08d940145-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-make-every-moment-cinematic-how-cinematic-lut-transforms-video-on-the-galaxy-s26-series#c41f569d-b7ed-4de5-94a8-f6b08d940145">1 </a></sup><span style="font-size: 16px;">footage to deliver the depth and look of professional filmmaking.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> <span style="font-size: 16px;">It’s optimized for Log video. By leveraging its wide gradation,</span><sup class="fn" data-fn="8fb55a61-0528-49ae-9f9a-bed152886a77"><a id="8fb55a61-0528-49ae-9f9a-bed152886a77-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-make-every-moment-cinematic-how-cinematic-lut-transforms-video-on-the-galaxy-s26-series#8fb55a61-0528-49ae-9f9a-bed152886a77">2</a> </sup><span style="font-size: 16px;">the feature precisely reconstructs color and brightness to preserve subtle tonal details often lost with conventional filters for richer, more natural depth.</span></p>

<h3></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Q. What led to the development of Cine LUT?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Kim: </strong>While Galaxy devices supported Log video for high-quality capture, color grading remained challenging for users. We aimed to make professional-looking results accessible without advanced editing skills.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek: </strong>We wanted to create an experience that lets users preview cinematic footage at the moment of capture, then apply a LUT and share the video with a single tap in the Gallery.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Q. How did the collaboration with U5K Imageworks begin? How was Cine LUT developed?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Eom: </strong>Our collaboration began two years ago with Rec. 709 LUT advisory work for Samsung Log video, where we refined strong colors into more natural tones — an experience that led to Cine LUT. For this project, we developed multiple versions across three intensity levels — neutral, soft and strong — and tested them in diverse scenes, ultimately selecting four core styles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim: </strong>Building on U5K’s color direction, we validated the concepts against quantitative criteria to ensure consistent performance in different environments, refining them through testing until creative intent and technical quality aligned.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Q. What challenges did you face during development?</h3>
<p><strong>Kim: </strong>We needed a large dataset to validate performance across diverse conditions. Testing in real-world environments — from natural and indoor lighting to day and night — and close collaboration were key to capturing the nuances of color.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek: </strong>Maintaining consistent, undistorted color in different environments was challenging. Through continuous testing, we developed a LUT that balances subjective preference with objective quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. What was the key consideration in creating looks optimized for mobile phones?</h3>
<p><strong>Eom: </strong>Ensuring reliable performance in real-world conditions was key. Since lighting, exposure and white balance constantly vary, we focused on creating looks that remain natural in any situation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim: </strong>Quality was our top priority. We analyzed each frame and validated performance using tools like color charts, gray balance and vector scopes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. Why were these four styles chosen for the Galaxy S26 series?</h3>
<p><strong>Baek: </strong>We analyzed the visual language of popular film genres and identified four representative styles. From the high-contrast Blockbuster to the fresh Coming-of-age, warm Romance and moody Thriller, each color palette was designed to give everyday scenes an instant cinematic look.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Q. Which Cine LUT styles do you recommend for different situations?</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Eom: </strong>There’s no fixed answer — it depends on the situation. Blockbuster suits high-contrast environments like outdoor and urban scenes; Coming-of-age fits soft, trendy settings like cafes or vlogs; Romance adds warmth to character-driven scenes; and Thriller creates a more striking impression.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Q. What stood out to you in user feedback?</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Baek: </strong>We expected it might be seen as just another video effect, but the response exceeded expectations. Users quickly recognized that combining Log shooting with Cine LUTs expands creative possibilities beyond simple filters. We’re also seeing more users choose styles based on the scene, with high-quality videos widely shared on social media — and even inspiring new ways to create content.</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Q. What are your plans for the future?</strong></h3>
<div class="single_contents">
<p><strong>Baek: </strong>We aim to further establish the Galaxy S26 series as a professional-grade camera. We hope to see more content that resonates with both creators and viewers and will continue to set new standards in video creation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong>As the world changes rapidly, our goal is to identify next-generation technologies. Through close collaboration with business divisions, we will work to bring them into products and deliver innovative experiences to users around the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Innovation is often measured by what we can see – larger screens, thinner frames, or more vibrant displays. However, the most profound shifts occur when the technology itself begins to disappear.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are stepping into an era where technology should feel like an extension of intent rather than a tool we must learn and manage. In short, we are moving away from digital complexity towards everyday convenience.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>For over a decade, the smartphone experience has been defined by touch-based navigation. People all over the world have become accustomed to tapping on screens and managing fragmented applications to complete simple tasks. For this era to close, mobile experiences must become more proactive and adaptive, understanding context and providing assistance the moment it is needed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the all-new Galaxy S26 Series, the next chapter begins here. The path forward is not about adding more apps, but instead about creating an invisible architecture that enables easier daily living.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>SEAO is Primed for an AI Revolution</strong></h3>
<p>Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) represents one of the most dynamic, mobile-first digital economies in the world. Google’s recent<span> </span><em>e-Conomy SEA 2025</em><span> </span>report<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a><span> </span>highlights a powerful base of 200 million new users that have come online over the last decade across Southeast Asia. With three in five people now shopping online, and over 60% of all payments being made digitally, the region’s digital fluency has driven a surge in interest towards artificial intelligence (AI), at three times the global average.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This momentum is equally profound across Oceania, where AI has moved rapidly from a concept to a core business driver. In New Zealand, a significant 91% of businesses report efficiency improvements from AI, with half also citing positive financial impact<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>. Australian businesses are mirroring this shift as well; with 40% of SMEs currently adopting AI<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a><span> </span>and agreeing that AI offers a competitive edge and compelling use cases that can transform their operations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The launch of the Galaxy S24 Series two years ago marked the transition from smartphone to a new era of AI phones. Today, for the millions across the diverse SEAO region — from hyper-connected urban hubs to rapidly developing tech frontiers — the phone has become more than a tool, and instead the primary platform for navigating life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As our region accelerates its adoption of AI, true advancement is achieved when everyday use is powered by seamless anticipation of needs. For instance, the<span> </span><span>Galaxy S26 Ultra features Samsung’s most intuitive and user-friendly AI experience to date. Features like Now Nudge<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> provide proactive and relevant context-aware suggestions, while Now Brief<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>[5]</sup></a> surfaces timely reminders for important events. </span>The reliable delivery of these experiences<span> </span><span>requires a foundation of customised hardware, such as the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5, which is designed for high-speed on-device performance on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Sitting quietly beneath the interface, this hardware orchestrates how intelligence understands context to enable intuitive workflows.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Power of Open Intelligence</strong></h3>
<p>To harness these advancements without forcing people to learn entirely new interfaces, technology demands a deeply integrated approach.<span> </span><span>We understand that customers prefer having a choice in the tools they use, so Galaxy S26 Ultra also comes with a choice of agents<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>[6]</sup></a> to help users complete tasks more easily with a single button press or voice prompt. </span>As we see it, the future lies in an open ecosystem of AI-powered features that users can embrace with confidence—knowing their personal data is secure while enjoying the benefits of a multi-agent experience that is backed by<span> </span><span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/editorial-there-is-no-privacy-without-stronger-security-thats-why-were-joining-forces-with-the-security-community-to-keep-you-safe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung’s commitment to collaborative protection</a></span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Crucially, this AI transformation cannot be reserved for a select few. We are committed to the democratisation of mobile AI,<span> </span><span>targeting an expansion to over 800 million users globally in 2026. True progress is only achieved when advanced capabilities reach the masses, ensuring broad availability to all.</span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Trust as the Foundation</strong></h3>
<p>With increased power comes a heightened need for trust. As both consumers and organisations scale their AI usage, a multi-agent approach must be built on the principle that access to personal information is strictly limited to the specific task at hand. AI experiences on Galaxy are protected at every level, with personalisation, transparency, and user choice guiding every step.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Security is not merely a feature, but a foundational element of our AI infrastructure that users can customise through granular privacy settings, opt-in security features, and intuitive dashboards designed to enable <a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/your-privacy-secured-how-galaxy-ai-empowers-you-to-take-control-of-your-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">true control and transparency</a>. For instance, the Privacy Display<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>[7]</sup></a> on the Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a new form of personal protection. Integrated directly into the display hardware, it controls how the screen’s pixels disperse light, limiting visibility from side, top, and bottom angles when activated so users can preserve privacy when needed.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Meanwhile, </span>Samsung Knox ensures that personal data remains protected on the device and is shared only when required. On the Galaxy S26 Series, the Personal Data Engine (PDE) enables context-aware AI experiences by processing data locally. To keep this process safe,<span> </span><span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/your-privacy-secured-inside-the-tech-powering-safe-personalised-galaxy-ai-experiences" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)</a></span><span> </span>encrypts the data of each app. Furthermore,<span> </span><span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/your-privacy-secured-how-knox-vault-protects-you-in-the-era-of-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Knox Vault</a></span><span> </span>adds a physical layer of protection by isolating sensitive data inside its own secure hardware. This system-wide approach combines hardware and software to keep personal information protected.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By equipping our flagship devices with up to seven generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades<a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/why-southeast-asia-and-oceanias-mobile-future-demands-an-intelligent-revolution#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>, along with seven years of security updates, we provide consumers with the confidence that their hardware investments will remain secure over time.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>The Blueprint for an Intelligent Future</strong></h3>
<p>The diverse and rapidly growing digital economies of the SEAO region have created an ideal environment for AI adoption and growth. The launch of our latest flagship line-up is more than an iterative hardware update; it is the deployment of mobile infrastructure required to meet this moment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>By balancing specialised hardware with a collaborative software philosophy, we are laying the foundation for a future where digital experiences become easier and more intuitive, fundamentally making life better for every user in the region.</span></p>

Powered by its built-in on-device learning it delivers smarter personalization without sharing data externally, meaning the more you use it, the smarter it gets for you specifically.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Bixby</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, on the other hand, returns as a conversational device agent, a convenient upgrade that helps users easily navigate their devices and adjust settings using natural language, without digging in the settings and even the need for exact terminology or commands.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To prevent the frustration of receiving spam or uncalled-for calls, Samsung introduces </span><b>Call Screening</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Galaxy AI intelligently identifies suspicious numbers in real time, by asking first who is the caller and their intention, giving you the option to decline or accept. This ensures that only the calls that truly matter reach you, adding an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy AI also helps redefine the way users express and create with the enhanced </span><b>Photo Assist</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">  that now allows users to easily make a photo taken during daytime to a night shot, remove unwanted people in the background, and even complete a photo by adding other elements, all by simply typing it. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Creative Studio</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, on the other hand, allows users to customize or create stickers, wallpapers, invitations, etc easily from a sketch or by using a prompt. The upgraded </span><b>Audio Eraser </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">has also been refined and is now accessible in third‑party applications such as Instagram and YouTube.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While all these features use and analyze the user’s data daily, </span><b>Samsung Knox</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> provides multi-layered security, protecting Galaxy devices from the chip level up. On-device Galaxy AI runs on the </span><b>Personal Data Engine (PDE)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for context-aware personalization, secured by</span><b> Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>Knox Vault</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which isolates sensitive data in dedicated hardware. With user controls for AI features, the Galaxy S26 series combines hardware and software to deliver system-wide protection for personal data.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Complete the seamless Galaxy experience with Samsung’s latest audio innovations — </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-sound/galaxy-buds4-pro/buy/?modelCode=SM-R640NZDAASA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Buds4 Pro</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-sound/galaxy-buds4-pro/buy/?modelCode=SM-R540NZKAASA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Buds4</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The Buds4 Pro feature a wider woofer, upgraded Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and an adaptive equalizer for richer sound. Users can also launch AI agents like Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity hands-free with voice controls.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Availability</b></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Galaxy S26 lineup embraces a cohesive design across all models, offering different colorway choices such as Cobalt Violet, White, Black, and Sky Blue, with Samsung.com exclusives including Pink Gold and Silver Shadow.</span></p>

<p>Samsung Galaxy is the device of choice for creators of all kinds looking to shoot eye-catching, professional-grade content — and with <a class="retargeted" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra</a>, that experience is getting even better.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung developed its Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. as an open standard for professional video creation so the technology could be available to as many users as possible. It took years of close collaboration between the two companies to make APV a reality on the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy<a href="https://news.samsung.com/us/for-creators-by-creators-samsungs-pro-grade-apv-codec-supported-galaxy-s26-ultra/#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1 </sup></a>chipset that powers <a class="retargeted" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra</a>. APV is the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to put the user experience first by collaborating with other industry leaders.</p>

</div>
</div>
<div class="article-content">
<div class="article-body">
<p>While other smartphone codecs prioritize small file sizes, they are not built for high-quality editing. APV makes for easier editing and more creative flexibility. Now you can capture video content on your Galaxy device that behaves like cinematic professional camera footage when it’s time to edit — maintaining video quality even after repeated edits. Supporting up to 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, APV uses 10% less storage than other comparable formats while maintaining the same objective visual quality.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>Now you see it, now you don’t. This isn’t some magic trick; you should be in control of what people see on your device. With the industry’s first built-in Privacy Display<a href="https://news.samsung.com/us/share-your-terms-galaxy-s26-ultra/#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1 </sup></a>on <a class="retargeted" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra</a>, you can decide when you want a clear view from all angles and when you want extra protection from prying eyes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>What is Privacy Display?</h3>
<p>Privacy Display on <a class="retargeted" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra </a>is a new kind of personal protection built-into the device that allows you to adjust the visibility of content on your screen. When enabled, visuals are clear for the user while limiting what others can see when looking at the screen from the side — perfect when you’re traveling or in other public places.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unlike aftermarket stick-on privacy screen covers, the Privacy Display on <a class="retargeted" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra </a>offers protection without compromising the viewing experience during everyday use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="embedded product-module"><a id="product-module-0" class="snr-article_product-image retargeted image" title="Galaxy S26 Series" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.us.news.samsung.com/us/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/01202144/2026-Product-Banner-Refresh-1.png" alt="Galaxy S26 Series" /></a></div>
</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<h3>How does Privacy Display work?</h3>
<div class="article-content">
<div class="article-body">
<p>Integrated directly into the display hardware, Privacy Display on <a class="retargeted" href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/buy/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra </a>controls how the screen’s pixels disperse light, limiting the visibility from side angles when turned on, while preserving the full display experience from any direction when it’s off. This hardware-first approach delivers a clearer and more consistent experience than a traditional privacy screen protector which permanently reduces brightness and clarity and can degrade touch responsiveness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s also customizable. You can decide when it turns on, like when entering sensitive password information, or even limit visibility for specific types of content like popup notifications — it all comes down to user choice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
