Samsung made Privacy Display cool, and another Android brand is almost ready with its own take

A new leak has shed light on Xiaomi's Smart privacy display, the Chinese brand's take on Samsung's innovative feature. This display aims to provide users with the ability to conceal their screens from prying eyes while viewing sensitive content like apps, notifications, or specific web pages. The feature is anticipated to be launched alongside the HyperOS 4 update later this year.

Samsung revolutionized the industry with the introduction of Privacy Display on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This technology effectively darkens the screen when viewed from specific angles, preventing unwanted gaze from potential onlookers. Since May, Xiaomi has been developing a similar feature for their devices, but the source provides a detailed look at their implementation.

Leaker Kacper Skrzypek shared multiple aspects of Xiaomi's Smart privacy display through a post on X. The leak reveals that the feature seems quite similar to Samsung's version, though it is likely a software-based solution, unlike Samsung's hardware-based implementation.
