Samsung Research Reveals Over Half of Europeans Admit to Looking at a Stranger's Phone Screen in Public – With Nearly a Quarter Doing so out of Sheer Curiosity1.4.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
As millions of Europeans2 get ready to enjoy the Easter weekend, new research from Samsung finds Europe’s public spaces have become shared screens: 56% of people say they have accidentally looked at a stranger’s phone, citing public transport as the most likely place to notice someone else’s screen (57%). Nearly one in four Europeans2 (24%) admit to looking at someone else’s phone out of curiosity, exposing a stream of private content from personal photos to bank details. Samsung Electronics surveyed 11,000 Europeans2 to support the launch of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which introduces a built-in Privacy Display. This new hardware-based technology keeps screen content visible only from the front to protect privacy from side angles, without compromising the viewing experience3. The study further reveals a gap between perceived phone privacy and reality: While 48%* feel their own phone use is private when using it in crowded places, 52%** find it easy to view someone else’s screen in public.
