There has been some confusion surrounding Samsung’s plans for Privacy Display on the Galaxy S27 series. While some reports claimed the feature would once again remain exclusive to the Ultra model, others suggested it could expand to the new Galaxy S27 Pro. A fresh report now goes even further, claiming the company plans to bring the technology to the entire lineup, including the base Galaxy S27 and S27+.

Privacy Display could become a flagship standard with the Galaxy S27 series

Samsung introduced Privacy Display with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, making it the first smartphone to use the company’s new Flex Magix Pixel technology. Unlike traditional privacy screen protectors that permanently reduce viewing angles, Samsung’s solution is built directly into the OLED panel and can be manually controlled from Settings.

When enabled, Privacy Display reduces brightness and screen visibility from the side. The feature makes it significantly harder for nearby people to read what’s on your screen while maintaining a normal viewing experience for the person holding the phone. It helps keep sensitive information private when using your phone in public places, such as parks, airplanes, trains, or offices.

According to the Korean media, Samsung is preparing a second-gen version of Privacy Display for the Galaxy S27 series. It aims to improve image quality and reliability after some users criticized the first-gen implementation on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The company previously maintained that the technology itself wasn’t fundamentally flawed, suggesting the next iteration could refine the experience rather than overhaul it.

Better yet, the report adds that Samsung’s entire 2027 flagship lineup is in line to receive Privacy Display. Industry experts suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra primarily served to validate the technology. The Galaxy S27 lineup would now mark its transition into a standard flagship feature. If Samsung successfully expands the technology to all four models, it could become a meaningful differentiator against competitors.

That said, Samsung’s display division, which oversees the development of Privacy Display, also reportedly plans to supply the tech to external companies in the future. We may not see the feature on many phones next year, but it could become commonplace a few years down the line. Samsung better make the most of it before that.
