Exciting new leaks about the Galaxy S26 Ultra suggest that Samsung is once again pushing the boundaries of smartphone display technology. 
Just after whispers of a camera overhaul, new reports hint at major improvements to the screen – and they could be game-changing.
According to insiders, Samsung might be incorporating CoE OLED (Color filter on Encapsulation) technology into the S26 Ultra. This innovation could lead to brighter visuals, sharper clarity, and a noticeable bump in battery efficiency. Unlike traditional OLED panels where the color filter and light-emitting layers are separate, CoE OLED integrates them, reducing light loss and power usage while enhancing display performance.
This closer layering boosts light extraction, meaning the screen gets brighter and more vibrant without draining the battery. Users can expect better visibility in bright environments like direct sunlight – a huge win for outdoor use. Additionally, CoE OLED is known for improving color accuracy, making visuals more realistic and true to life with a wider color range.
On top of this, tipster IceUniverse claims the S26 Ultra might also include a depolarizer layer. While details are scarce, this tech is generally used to reduce internal reflections in displays, improving contrast and sharpness.
All of these enhancements could make the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s screen one of the best in the industry – if not the best. Combined with the rumored camera upgrade, Samsung might have a serious contender in the battle for the top flagship phone of 2025, going head-to-head with Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max.
If even half of these rumors prove true, the S26 Ultra is shaping up to be a must-watch release for display enthusiasts and power users alike.
