A new leak strengthens a previous rumor that the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will get an improved version of Samsung’s Privacy Display, used on this year’s flagship.
We don’t expect Samsung to just walk away from the Privacy Display feature. It’s a cool addition that’s over-the-top on the surface, but proves useful in certain situations, like localized notification dimming so only the user can see their messages.
The latest leak regarding Samsung’s component options for the Galaxy S27 series indicates two devices in the next Galaxy S series will get a Privacy Display, or at least some version of it. The leak claims the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra’s Privacy Display will have “enhanced display brightness.”
That’s the only new detail after the display choice was leaked in September. Both leaks claim the same details – only the upper two models will have a display capable of blocking views from certain angles. The Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus won’t be so lucky. It makes some sense considering the Galaxy S27 Pro may essentially take the place of the current Ultra.
There are few details beyond the display’s brightness capabilities. One would hope Samsung improves on overall quality, so using the feature doesn’t have to come with many trade-offs.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S27 series early next year, though no date has been nailed down.
