Samsung’s 2026 Galaxy S26 series was expected to introduce a Galaxy S26 Pro as part of a lineup restructuring to replace the Galaxy S26 Plus. However, as we later covered, those plans did not go ahead, and Samsung kept its usual naming for the S26 series. The Pro model simply did not happen.
Now, a new leak from a reliable source suggests Samsung hasn’t scrapped the idea altogether and is instead working on the Galaxy S27 Pro. Words for it come from insider Digital Chat Station on Weibo, who shared screen details of the upcoming flagship.
Privacy Screen in testing for Galaxy S27 Pro
According to Digital Chat Station, the Galaxy S27 Pro will have a 6.47-inch display, comparatively smaller than the S26 Plus’ 6.7-inch screen. It will also include a hardware-level privacy screen, which Samsung kept exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
A hardware privacy screen limits the viewing angles of the display, so people around you cannot easily see what is on your screen.
The same leak also points to the Galaxy S27 Ultra coming with a 6.89-inch 2K display that also includes privacy screen functionality.
An interesting claim from the tipster is that Samsung is reportedly not planning to supply this display technology to other manufacturers for now, meaning Apple, which also sources displays for iPhones from Samsung, may not have access to it, at least in the near term.
These are early-stage leaks, and Samsung’s plans have changed before — the S26 Pro situation being the best example. It’s best to take these details with a pinch of salt.
We will update this story as new details emerge.
