Two Galaxy S27 models will get Samsung’s Privacy Display, not just the Ultra

Industry sources close to Samsung have revealed that the company plans to equip not only the Galaxy S27 Ultra, but also the Galaxy S27 Pro with its proprietary Privacy Display panels. The internal name for this innovative technology is the Flex Magic Panel. Previously, the Privacy Display was featured on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Unlike traditional anti-glare Gorilla Glass panels, Samsung's Privacy Display is an OLED panel that obscures certain sections or the entire screen from specific angles. This unique feature allows users to conceal sensitive notifications and information, even when the device is viewed from non-head-on perspectives. The COE elements within the display act as a form of polarization, blocking views from certain angles.

According to leaked information, Samsung intends to expand its smartphone lineup to four models with the Galaxy S27 series. The Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra will boast an enhanced camera bar/island, with the Pro model serving as a more direct counterpart to the Ultra, unlike the S+ predecessor. Moreover, the Galaxy S27 Pro will inherit the Ultra's price tag, while the Galaxy S27 Ultra will experience a price increase.

Samsung is projected to unveil the four new Galaxy S27 devices early next year. For more updates, check out 9to5Google on YouTube.
