A report from May 2020 had revealed that Samsung Electronics was testing OLED panels from BOE as an affordable alternative to its own OLED screens. BOE panels were even said to be featured on some phones in the Galaxy S21 series next year, although, a new report has suggested that the upcoming flagship series will run the South Korean tech giant’s proprietary OLED panels after BOE screens failed testings.
The news arrives from South Korea, which states that BOE OLED panels have failed Samsung’s testing process. Reportedly, BOE panels didn’t pass even the first stage of testing. This arrives after the company was rumored to supply Samsung with 6.67 inch screens and panels with a 90Hz refresh rate. However, it seems like that might not be the case anymore.

Furthermore, BOE OLED panels have apparently also failed tests for the iPhone 12 as well. The Cupertino based giant’s 2020 flagship is expected to arrive later this year and rumors have pointed at the device using OLED panels from BOE, LG Display, and Samsung Display for the series. Although, this is still unconfirmed so take it with a grain of salt for now, and stay tuned.
