The Galaxy S27 Pro could potentially adopt the best display feature from the Ultra model.
A recent leak indicates that Samsung is testing a screen privacy feature for the Galaxy S26 Ultra that may also make its way to the Galaxy S27 Pro next year.
Samsung could introduce the screen privacy feature from the Galaxy S26 Ultra to additional devices in the upcoming year. According to a new leak, the Galaxy S27 Pro is likely to include a Privacy Display, which helps users shield their screens from unwanted viewing.
Details from the Leak
A recent post on Weibo by tipster Digital Chat Station mentions that Samsung is evaluating a hardware-level privacy screen for the Galaxy S27 Pro, which is reported to have a 6.47-inch display. This spec matches earlier leaks suggesting that the device will be part of next year’s lineup, which will also include the standard S27, S27 Plus, and S27 Ultra, and that it might feature a battery similar in size to that of the S26 Ultra.

Expected to be positioned just below the Ultra variant, the S27 Pro is a strong candidate to receive the Privacy Display feature before it is introduced in the standard S27 or S27 Plus. However, given that the S27 series won't debut until early next year, these specifications are unverified and may change.
Privacy Display's Availability
The Privacy Display feature was first seen in the Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier this year. It reduces the screen’s viewing angle, allowing the display to appear normal when viewed head-on, but dimming it for onlookers from the sides. This feature efficiently protects messages, passwords, and other sensitive information from those nearby.

Although Samsung has so far limited this feature to the Ultra model, interest in it has grown beyond that singular device. Recent reports suggest that other smartphone manufacturers are investigating similar screen technologies for their devices, and another leak has hinted that Privacy Display could be included in a future MacBook Pro. Should the Galaxy S27 Pro leak prove accurate, it would indicate a shift toward making this feature more widely available.
