- Competing manufacturers are reportedly working on imitating Samsung’s Privacy Display tech.
- Those efforts are apparently seeing mixed success.
- Samsung may supply manufacturers with its own privacy-filter display panels starting in 2028.
Before the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra even hit store shelves, rumors were flying that competitors were developing their spin on the phone’s headline new feature. In February, we heard that Chinese manufacturers were working on a take on Samsung’s Privacy Display, which physically obscures screen content when viewed from off-angles. Now, though, it’s looking like we might have to wait longer to see similar features on other OEMs’ devices.
Prolific leaker Digital Chat Station posted on Weibo early this morning to say that development on Chinese-made alternatives to Samsung’s Privacy Display is slower going than we initially thought, and that some manufacturers are opting to wait until they can source the tech from Samsung directly.
