LONDON – Samsung made breakthrough with its latest Galaxy S26, packed with futuristic “privacy display” feature that claims to block prying eyes from spying on your screen. Imagine texting in public without worrying about nosy strangers or office colleagues reading your messages.
The technology works at the pixel level, controlling light dispersion so that only the user sees a clear display while others are left staring at a darkened, unreadable screen.
This privacy miracle comes at a higher price as new Galaxy S26 series, launching on March 11, costs more than previous models, fueling speculation that smartphone prices are heading upward due to a global memory chip crisis. With demand for chips exploding thanks to A.I., manufacturers are prioritizing lucrative data centers over consumer gadgets. The result? Higher costs for everyday buyers.

Tech giants are racing to dominate AI gold rush. Companies like Meta, Google, and Microsoft are pouring billions into AI infrastructure, driving up the demand for memory chips. Analysts warn this could lead to widespread price hikes—not just for smartphones but for all electronic devices.
With smartphone battles heating up, Apple and Samsung’s rivalry could define the next era of mobile technology.
Beyond privacy, Samsung Galaxy S26 promises cutting-edge AI tools. Users can circle objects in photos to search them online, detect scam calls before answering, and even let AI edit images, changing backgrounds or clothing colors with a tap. These features highlight how artificial intelligence is transforming everyday gadgets into powerful digital assistants.
Is this the dawn of privacy-friendly future or just another price hike in disguise? As consumers eagerly await the Galaxy S26’s release, one thing is clear: the smartphone industry is entering a new era of technological warfare and economic pressure.
