TL;DR<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been claimed the Galaxy S28 Ultra will come with a 10-bit display.
\nLeaker Ice Universe said before the Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s launch that this year\u2019s phone would make that upgrade, but it did not.<\/p>\n
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series launched last month. They\u2019re pretty minor upgrades coming from the Galaxy S25, with perhaps the most noteworthy update being the S26 Ultra\u2019s surprisingly controversial<\/a> new Privacy Display. We were also expecting the S26 Ultra to come with a 10-bit display, but that change never materialized. Now, though, it\u2019s been claimed that upgrade is actually coming the year after next.<\/p>\n Leaker Ice Universe said in January that a 10-bit screen on the Galaxy S26 Ultra was \u201cconfirmed<\/a>,\u201d but the phone launched with the same 8-bit color depth as the other two S26 phones. Today, industry observer CID<\/a> tweeted that the Galaxy S28 Ultra will launch with a 10-bit panel \u2014 presumably meaning next year\u2019s S27 series will miss out, too.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Take this one with a grain of salt: CID\u2019s post doesn\u2019t include many details, only saying that the Galaxy S28 Ultra \u201cwill finally be 10-bit.\u201d We don\u2019t know how they came across this information. It certainly could be true, but even if Samsung is currently planning to use a 10-bit display panel in the S28 Ultra, its plans could change before that phone goes into production.<\/p>\n BREAKING: S28 Ultra will finally be 10-bit<\/p>\n In a nutshell, an 8-bit display panel (like the ones used in the Galaxy S26 series) is capable of displaying a total of 16.7 discrete colors while a 10-bit panel can show more than a billion. It\u2019s not a difference that\u2019s noticeable under most conditions, but 10-bit media playing on a 10-bit display will look truer to life, especially in gradients where one color gradually transitions to another.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
