INDULGE

 Our phones are our most personal space, but we use them in the least private places. On the bus, in the elevator, and wherever we’re waiting in line, our digital laundry gets aired in plain view. And as phones become more tailored to our routines and preferences, concerns about privacy are only growing.  That’s why Samsung will soon unveil a new layer of privacy to shield your phone from shoulder surfing wherever you go. You’ll have the space to check your messages or enter a password on a packed commute without thinking twice about who might be watching. PINs and passwords remain hidden from people nearby, even in crowded public settings. Flexible Protection Built Over Years  Not everyone needs the same level of privacy. This new layer gives you the choice to decide what works best for you. You can customise it to raise your guard with specific apps, or when entering access details for more private areas of your phone. With multiple settings for adjusting visibility, yo...

The next evolution of artificial intelligence is about to change that relationship entirely. It’s called Agentic AI, and it’s not just about answering questions, it’s about getting things done.
