S26 ultra maximum privacy display issues

[smdrafik]

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra a few days ago because it is a flagship phone with many advanced features. One of the features I was most interested in is Maximum Privacy Display.

However, when I enable this feature, the screen shows a white shadow effect, and the display is not clearly visible. This makes the feature difficult to use and affects the overall experience.

This feature is very useful for privacy, and it is one of the reasons I chose this phone. But right now it feels disappointing, especially after spending money on a premium device.

I hope Samsung will acknowledge this issue and release a fix through a software update as soon as possible so users can properly use this feature.

I am also very surprised that when the “Maximum privacy protection” option is activated, the display appears significantly brighter not only when viewed from the front, but also from the sides, and the color saturation is reduced or flattened. This effect is not visible in Samsung's official product showcase videos or in various other videos (e.g., https://youtu.be/BmAM7mygKp0). Could this be a bug? I would like to see this fixed, otherwise I am very disappointed with the feature.
