Samsung Galaxy S21 will likely use the Chinese manufacturer’s OLED panel, no longer 120Hz
- Tram Ho
Right now, we have received some leaks regarding Samsung’s 2021 flagship smartphones, which will most likely be called the Galaxy S21 series.
According to a SamMobile report, some Galaxy S21 models will feature OLED panels manufactured by Chinese company BOE. Instead of using OLED panels manufactured by Samsung Display, although Samsung is currently the No. 1 OLED display manufacturer on the market.
A source from South Korea said that the Galaxy S21 Ultra version will still be equipped with Samsung OLED panels. Meanwhile, BOE’s OLED platforms currently do not support 120Hz.
Samsung sent a request for a quote to BOE, which is what manufacturers usually do before the product tests about half a year. This includes a request for cooperation, a quote for products, payment terms and quality requirements.
If the Galaxy S21 is actually equipped with BOE panels, it means that Samsung’s flagship smartphones won’t have a 120Hz screen. This will be a step back from the Galaxy S20. BOE’s OLED platforms will only support 90Hz.
Samsung Display is a manufacturer of OLED screens, and is a brother in the same family as Samsung Electronics. However, the activities of these two companies are completely independent. Some analysts think that the cooperation with BOE is just a trick of Samsung Electronics, in order to force Samsung Display to reduce the price of OLED panels. However, really, how we will have to wait a bit longer for confirmation from BOE.
