So far this year, Google and Samsung have raised prices, while other OEMs have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/ram-costs-phone-makers-cut-corners-3697856\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">forced to make trade-offs<\/a> to avoid that fate. But a RAM shortage may not be the only issue brands face heading into 2027, as Samsung\u2019s OLED screens, which are used by several phone makers, could also become pricier.<\/p>\n<p>According to Chinese supply chain source ChannelGate, Samsung has told its suppliers that the cost of OLED panels will rise in 2027 by around $10 to $20 (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ithome.com\/1\/020\/936.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ITHome<\/a>). The source adds that this hike isn\u2019t due to price-related pressures, but a company strategy to \u201cregain control\u201d of OLED panel pricing, which Samsung supposedly feels is \u201cchaotic\u201d right now.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent leaker Digital Chat Station on <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5361582997766145\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Weibo<\/a> also shared a similar assessment, noting that shortages in the OLED IC (integrated circuit) have resulted in cost increases.<\/p>\n<p>This, the leaker claims, could make the impact \u201cmore pronounced\u201d in 2027, adding that some smartphone OEMs may have started stocking up on OLED panels to counter some of the impact. Meanwhile, sources quoted by the leaker anticipate the RAM crisis to continue until 2029 or 2030.<\/p>\n<p>While the tech industry may have prepared for rising memory component costs, higher OLED panel prices could make things trickier for manufacturers next year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its own devices, Samsung supplies OLED screens to a wide range of midrange and premium smartphone manufacturers. So don\u2019t be surprised if you see another price bump across a bulk of the new phones launching in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>If these reports hold up, more consumers may consider buying pre-owned smartphones to offset some of that steep upfront cost. It will be interesting to see whether this price bump appears in upcoming devices, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s27-ultra-dummy-leak-3730910\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S27 series<\/a>, which is expected to debut early next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shimul Sood \/ Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: TL;DR A new report claims Samsung may bump&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[60902,61,60,202,18870,63992,573,80],"class_list":["post-674834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-displays","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-oled","tag-ram","tag-samsung","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
