Honor is working on Privacy Display for its next flagships, Samsung will offer it to its competitors | Infinium-tech

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra launched earlier this year with the Privacy Display feature as its main differentiator from all its competitors, but a new rumor suggests Samsung Display will be offering it to other smartphone makers by the end of 2028.

Some Chinese Android OEMs may be waiting for that moment, while others are already developing similar solutions in collaboration with Chinese display makers. We recently heard that Xiaomi’s 18 Pro may have its own privacy display feature.

Today it is also rumored that Honor is again developing similar technology in partnership with a Chinese display panel manufacturer. It remains to be seen how well these Chinese privacy display solutions will fare against Samsung’s.

For what it’s worth, Honor is apparently testing it on two upcoming devices, one with a 6.3-inch screen and the other with a 6.8-inch panel. These are presumably the Magic9 devices that are expected to launch later this year.

Clearly, Chinese OEMs have paid great attention to Samsung’s innovation in this area. It seems that many consumers also like this, but of course the specific implementation matters a lot. We’ll likely be hearing a lot more about Chinese-developed privacy displays in the coming months, so stay tuned.
