Samsung using BOE screens<\/a> on the base Galaxy S27 back in May. This was quickly followed by Samsung apparently sending a Request For Information (RFI) to BOE regarding these displays. These rumors persisted through Samsung mobile chief TM Roh\u2019s visit to BOE in China a few days ago. Unfortunately, BOE has evidently terminated this project.<\/p>\nDo you care if the Galaxy S27 uses a Samsung screen?<\/p>\n

ET News wasn\u2019t able to confirm a specific reason for the deal\u2019s cancellation, but explained that there was \u201cresistance\u201d within Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display. The outlet added that it was difficult for Samsung Display to accept that its key partner and parent company would use screens from a rival firm. In saying so, Samsung already uses screens from rival companies on its cheaper phones.<\/p>\n
BOE has traditionally lagged behind Samsung in terms of display quality on high-end devices. However, Samsung\u2019s base and Plus flagships don\u2019t offer cutting-edge screens to begin with, so quality concerns are an unlikely reason for the deal\u2019s cancellation.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also believed that BOE offers cheaper screens than Samsung Display. This would\u2019ve helped Samsung fight price hikes, especially as RAM and storage costs skyrocket. A cheaper screen would\u2019ve also been particularly useful ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro launch, as it\u2019s believed this chip will see a massive price increase compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. In other words, don\u2019t be surprised if the base Galaxy S27 is more expensive.<\/p>\n
