Honor Tests Hardware Privacy Screen for Magic 9 Flagships as Samsung Eyes 2028 Component Supply

Summary
Honor is testing a hardware-level privacy screen for a future flagship phone, with the Magic 9 series seen as a possible launch vehicle though timing remains unclear.
The feature would narrow viewing angles to block side glances and keep the display clear only for the user looking straight at it, targeting shoulder-surfing risks.
Honor already rolled out a software-based anti-peeping feature in MagicOS 10, so the new effort would extend privacy protection from software into the display hardware itself.
Samsung has already built similar privacy display technology into hardware and software, and tipster DigitalChatStation said it may start supplying related components externally by the end of 2028.
