JAKARTA - Samsung is considering switching to BOE-made OLED screens, a Chinese manufacturer, for the latest S series. This news comes after Samsung executives met with BOE CEO.
Until the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung has always used panels made by their internal division, namely Samsung Display. However, Samsung is experiencing increasing production costs so they are looking for alternatives from other suppliers.
Launching from Gizmochina, this cost pressure is based on the price of important components that have increased such as processors, camera sensors, and memory. Samsung is trying to cut production costs so that its latest devices do not experience drastic price increases.
The use of screens from third-party suppliers is considered a right step to maintain the stability of Samsung's premium mobile business. In addition to cost efficiency, this move is also aimed at strengthening the global supply chain so as not to rely on one source.
BOE was chosen because the company's reputation has continued to improve in recent years. In fact, Apple was the first to use BOE's OLED panels for some of their standard iPhone models.
Interestingly, the relationship between Samsung and BOE was not smooth because of a patent infringement dispute. This feud lasted quite a long time in court, but the legal settlement was finally carried out.
There has been no announcement regarding when the BOE screen will start to be installed on the latest Galaxy S series, namely the S26. It is also not certain whether the BOE screen will be as strong as the screen offered by Samsung Display in previous generations.
