However, that could change next year with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-s27-everything-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Galaxy S27<\/a> series. A new report claims that Chinese display maker BOE is making a strong push to become one of Samsung MX\u2019s OLED panel suppliers.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/zdnet.co.kr\/view\/?no=20260522093951#_enliple\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a> from ZDNet Korea, BOE is actively trying to enter Samsung\u2019s supply chain by offering OLED panels at prices reportedly $5 lower per unit than Samsung Display\u2019s panels. Samsung MX has reportedly been evaluating BOE\u2019s OLED panels for more than a month, and the Chinese company is close to meeting Samsung\u2019s quality requirements. So far, no major technical issues have been identified.\n<\/p>\n<p>If BOE successfully passes Samsung\u2019s quality and reliability standards, it could become a secondary display supplier alongside Samsung Display. This isn&#8217;t the first time Samsung will be using non-Samsung Display OLED panels. Chinese firm TCL CSOT has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-a57-oled-screen-could-made-by-chinese-firm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">already supplied OLED panels<\/a> for the Galaxy A57.\n<\/p>\n<p>Given the massive scale at which Samsung ships premium smartphones globally, even a small reduction in panel costs could save the company millions of dollars. That could be especially important at a time when RAM and storage component prices have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-may-hike-phone-prices-rise-memory-prices\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">increased by multiple folds<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S27 series is rumored to include four models: Galaxy S27, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-s27-plus-everything-to-know\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S27+<\/a>, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra. Most units are expected to use Samsung Display OLED panels, while some variants could reportedly feature BOE panels instead.\n<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ are expected to use the Exynos 2700 processor in all markets except for Canada, China, and the USA. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-s27-pro-everything-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Galaxy S27 Pro<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-s27-ultra-everything-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Galaxy S27 Ultra<\/a> could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/another-galaxy-s27-ultra-snapdragon-chip-hint-just-dropped\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">exclusively use Snapdragon<\/a> chips worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the past, Samsung has exclusively used in-house (Samsung Display) OLED panels in high-end smartphones.
