Rumors from a Chinese tipster claim that several overseas brands might take inspiration from Samsung's Privacy Display for upcoming phones. The post suggests these OEMs could integrate a similar feature into their flagship devices, potentially launching around September.
Samsung teased its Privacy Display for the Galaxy S26 Ultra late last month, showing how the screen blocks prying eyes from the side. Galaxy Unpacked is scheduled for February 25, 2026.
The rumor, shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, indicates that domestic manufacturers are testing the feature. It appears these brands are eyeing their own flagship models to implement a hardware-level version of Privacy Display.
The tipster did not name specific OEMs, but speculation points to Xiaomi and Honor as possible frontrunners. Samsung's teaser demonstrated the display appearing dark from angles, ensuring privacy in public spaces.
Additional rumors suggest users may have control over privacy levels, such as blocking messages or enabling total privacy. Galaxy Unpacked will reveal more on February 25, 2026 at 1 pm ET/10 am PT.
