Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra has been named to TIME’s Best Inventions list for 2026. The recognition highlights products selected for their originality, usefulness and wider impact.
The phone stands out for its built-in Privacy Display, video stabilisation features and tools designed for content creation.
Features that stand out
- Built-in Privacy Display to limit side viewing when enabled.
- Super Steady video with horizontal lock.
- Galaxy AI features.
- Tools designed for higher-quality video creation.
The Privacy Display can help reduce what people beside the user can see on the screen. It is useful for sensitive information, but it should not be treated as complete protection in every lighting condition or viewing angle.
The recognition also includes Samsung’s AI Family Hub refrigerator and Odyssey G8 gaming monitor. The monitor supports 6K resolution at up to 165Hz, with a dual mode that reaches up to 330Hz at 3K resolution.
