Samsung’s top Android rival might copy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display, but will it be better?

• A leaker has claimed that Xiaomi is working on a Samsung-like Privacy Display feature.
• The feature will apparently debut as part of the Hyper OS 4 update later this year.
• This strongly suggests that Xiaomi’s feature is a software-based option, unlike Samsung’s hardware-driven approach.
