This innovative feature surpasses Samsung's Privacy Display on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which relies on software controls. The growing popularity of Privacy Display technology suggests that hardware toggles should become the preferred control method for mobile devices. Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra showcased a Privacy Display that effectively shields content from onlookers, although its impact on display quality remains a topic of debate. To enhance convenience, HUAWEI has integrated a physical hardware switch on the MateBook Pro S, allowing users to toggle the privacy display seamlessly.",
