I’m an iPhone user, but not a ride-or-die iPhone user. When I tested the Motorola Razr Ultra for Mashable last year, it reminded me how much I like some Android features. And with the Samsung Galaxy S26 phones rumored to be coming in late February with One UI 8.5, I’m exactly the kind of person Samsung needs to woo.
Unlike a lot of iPhone users I know, I really would consider ditching my iPhone for an Android handset — if the price (and feature-set) were right.
Samsung phones tend to leak like a faucet ahead of their official launch, and that’s exactly what’s happening right now. We’ve already broken down everything we know about the Galaxy S26 line and the next Galaxy Unpacked launch event. Given what we know, these are the rumored S26 features that could convince me to defect from Apple to Android.
Privacy Display
As I wrote yesterday, Privacy Display has all but been confirmed. As you can see in an old video from Samsung leaker Ice Universe, the Privacy Display hides the content on your screen from the people around you. Normally, you have to buy a separate privacy protection screen to achieve this effect.
