Some people are saying in the comments that the video is AI generated (or that it uses AI somehow). Was anybody able to identify the AI components? Am I finally an old man for not being able to differentiate between AI and real life anymore?

I'm certainly no expert but the guy's eye movement looks pretty strange.
I remember when narrow viewing angles of an LCD screen would cost you ratings on a review. Good move marketing it as a "feature".
This isn't really showing what the display is like. It apparently can adjust viewing angle on a per-pixel level, so for example only apps and notifications you set will have limited viewing angles.
Here's a story with a better leaked visual: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-display-may-have-more-tricks-up-its-sleeve.1214117.0.html
Frankly I think it's still a bit gimmicky for privacy (why not just do the full screen, which you can do with a $10 polarized screen protector to all phones already), but it's legitimately neat tech.
If you can toggle it, it's definitely a feature worth praising, I'd say.
(And as a warning to all those spicy novel readers out there: An LCD from a bad viewing angle will still often show what you're looking at, but inverted.)
Uh oh... I bet the sound isn't directional enough to work like this too. Yet.
Headphones, if you're in public headphones. Doesn't matter whether you're listening to David attenbourough no one wants to hear your media.
