The video was posted on Monday, just a couple of days before the Galaxy S26 lineup&#8217;s expected unveiling at <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/samsung-galaxy-unpacked-february-2026-s26-announced\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Galaxy Unpacked<\/a> on Wednesday afternoon. It should be noted that there is no definitive proof that the phone in the video is the real deal at this point, but it certainly looks believable.<\/p>\n<p>Karoul claimed to have gotten the device ahead of its release date in a Dubai market.

The phone in the video comes with an S-Pen, as Ultra models typically do. Perhaps the biggest reveal here is the first real (we think) look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/samsung-galaxy-s26-privacy-display\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">new Privacy Display feature<\/a> in action. It makes the phone&#8217;s display less visible to anyone looking at it from a side angle. The Privacy Display feature can reportedly be turned on and off in the phone&#8217;s settings and doesn&#8217;t require a separate screen protector. <\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, it&#8217;s hard to tell what else is new about the S26 Ultra from a short video that mostly focuses on comparing the phone to other popular smartphones. Karoul does show off some sample photos taken with the device&#8217;s camera near the end of the video, but as far as I can tell, there&#8217;s no sign of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ai-photo-editing-suite\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">unified AI image editor<\/a> Samsung is hyping up prior to Galaxy Unpacked tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>All of this will be moot in a little more than 24 hours.
