As India leads in daily AI usage globally, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series steps up with unmatched privacy upgrades. JB Park, President and CEO of Samsung Southwest Asia, revealed Tuesday how the new phones empower users in the AI age.
The star of the Galaxy S26 Ultra launch is its pioneering Privacy Display, fused into the screen for superior protection. It delivers crisp front-facing visuals but dims dramatically from angles, letting users select zones or schedules for privacy activation—far beyond clunky add-ons.
‘India is central to our global innovation,’ Park affirmed, crediting Bengaluru and Noida R&D teams for pivotal contributions. The series is manufactured right in Noida, boosting local tech prowess.
This feature pioneers a privacy renaissance in mobiles, tailored for AI demands. On-device processing keeps personal data local, while AI agents respect user-defined boundaries for sharing.
Samsung ecosystem apps interfacing with AI partners still grant full data governance, opting out of training or ads. Intelligent Privacy Alerts flag suspicious app behaviors targeting controls or data like call histories and locations, enhancing user vigilance.
Park stressed, ‘AI serves you—it can’t stray or invent untruths under our watch.’ Boasting third-gen AI with smart insights and aids for routine tasks, access remains need-based only.
Knox Security Framework unifies protections, keeping data onboard, selectively shared, and insulated from commercial use. Indian consumers can pre-order now: S26 at ₹87,999 upwards, S26 Plus ₹1,19,999, S26 Ultra ₹1,39,999.
