Rumor: Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra to Be First Samsung Phones With DC Dimming
A new leak claims Samsung's Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will adopt DC dimming, while the regular S27 and S27 Plus are said to stick with PWM.
A rumor has surfaced claiming that the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will be the first Samsung smartphones to feature DC dimming, according to gsmarena.com. The claim is unconfirmed, and Samsung has not commented on it.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra relies on PWM to adjust brightness, so the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra would represent a change in approach if the rumor proves accurate.
The same leak says the two models would use Samsung's M16 OLED material, while the regular Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus would use M14+. The Privacy Display feature introduced on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is also rumored to return on the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra.
Display supply context
Samsung Display was previously reported to be preparing to start manufacturing displays for the Galaxy S27 line, though the timing of that production has not been confirmed.
