A DC-dimmed Galaxy S27 is a bigger deal than you think
9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- The Samsung Galaxy S27 may introduce DC dimming for its display, which could benefit users sensitive to PWM dimming that causes headaches and eye strain.
- Samsung has traditionally used low-frequency PWM dimming for better low-light display quality, efficiency, and lower manufacturing costs, but this method can cause discomfort for some users.
- DC dimming, favored by advocacy groups for being more comfortable, is already offered by brands like Motorola but has not been widely adopted by Samsung or other major manufacturers like Apple and Google.
- If Samsung does not include DC dimming in the Galaxy S27, the Motorola Signature 27 could remain the only US flagship phone with this feature.
- The Galaxy S27 is also rumored to feature a 3x zoom camera, Samsung’s Privacy Display on two models, and may launch in February 2024.
