Good news, bad news: Privacy Display could come to more Galaxy S27 models, but not all
Confirmed
In Short: ET News reports that the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra will get Privacy Display functionality, while the S27 standard and Plus models will not.
Good news for Samsung Galaxy S27 enthusiasts: the Pro and Ultra models are set to receive Privacy Display technology, according to ET News. This feature, which debuted on the S26 Ultra, is expected to differentiate the higher-end models from the standard and Plus variants.
Industry sources cited by Android Authority indicate that discussions are underway to apply this privacy-enhancing technology to other devices, including laptops, starting with smartphones. Samsung plans to include privacy displays in its higher-end lineup to set them apart from other models.
However, not all S27 series phones will get this tech. A conflicting claim that all four S27 models could receive Privacy Display was contradicted by the ET News source. The Pro model is tipped to feature a 6.47-inch display, a 5,200mAh battery, a 200MP main camera, and a 12MP 3x camera.
Excitement around Privacy Display on more Samsung phones is palpable, but the standard and Plus models will miss out on this feature. The Pro model, in particular, is expected to stand out with its advanced display technology, though the exact specifications for the S27 standard and Plus remain unclear.
What's still developing
- We previously heard that the rumored Galaxy S27 Pro could also get this feature, and a new leak has now corroborated this claim.
- This is the hardware innovation that enables Privacy Display.
- If you own a Galaxy device and have never come across the Edge Panel, or you used it once but have since forgotten about it, here's what it's capable of now—and how you can make the most of it to optimize your mobile experience.
- If you don't see it, head to Settings and choose Display > Edge Panels to turn it on (via the toggle switch) or customize what the panels show (by tapping the menu entry).
- In addition, the Mate XT2 introduces a hardware-level privacy display, which Huawei said allows the screen to remain clear when viewed from the front while restricting visibility from the side.
- The Mate XT2 folds out twice into a tablet-sized 10.2-inch display, measuring 12.3mm when folded and 3.5mm when unfolded.

- Not only does the Mate XT 2 adopt the inward-folding form factor used on Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold, it’s also the first foldable to include a privacy-enhancing display, much like the one Samsung added to the Galaxy S26 Ultra this year.
