Earlier this week, we reported that the Galaxy M41 will be the first Samsung phone to use an OLED display supplied by a third-party manufacturer, in this case, TCL’s Star Optoelectronics Technology. The latest news out of Korea says Samsung has decided to cancel the phone.
According to SamMobile, Samsung has “stopped work” on the Galaxy M41 and is instead focusing on the Galaxy M51. Unfortunately, no reason was provided as to why Samsung decided to cancel the phone whose renders were released back in March.
The Galaxy M51 has been in development for a while and was also supposed to use OLED panels from a third-party. However, Samsung has decided to go with its own in-house panels as the third-party panels didn’t meet its quality requirements.
The specifications of the Galaxy M51 are currently unknown but there are rumors it will share several of its specs, and even design, with the Galaxy A51. A similar strategy was adopted by Samsung for the Galaxy M30s and Galaxy A50s.
At the moment, Samsung’s decision to use third-party panels has been suspended until next year according to the source.
The Galaxy M51 doesn’t have a release date yet but it is expected to be announced this month.
