According to a report by The Elec (via SamMobile), Samsung Electronics is testing OLED panels from three different suppliers for the Galaxy A73. One of them is unsurprisingly Samsung Display. Whereas, the other two are China-based BOE and TCL CSOT.

This is not the first time Samsung is testing Chinese displays for its phones. Last year, TCL CSOT became the sole supplier of OLED displays for the Galaxy M41. However, for unknown reasons, this phone was shelved and replaced with Galaxy M51 featuring a panel from Samsung Display.

Anyway, CSOT managed to supply panes in a low quantity for certain legacy models of the Galaxy M series this year. On the other hand, Samsung tested BOE-made displays for the Galaxy S21. But unfortunately, the deal did not go through due to undesired quality.

The two Chinese display makers are back again for Galaxy A73, Nonetheless, only time will tell if they will be successful in inking a deal this time around. 

For those who are wondering, Samsung Electronics has been trying to broaden its supply chain partners for quite a while now. Samsung Display has been the sole supplier of OLED panels for Samsung Galaxy smartphones for more than 10 years.

The South Korean electronics giant wants to reduce its dependency on Samsung Display for OLED panels. By opting for displays from other manufacturers, the company could get them at a cheaper price. The firm could not only make a profit out of this move but could also pass down this as a benefit to customers by lowering the price.

As far as Galaxy A73 is concerned, the device will reportedly be the first Samsung mid-range smartphone with an OIS-equipped 108P primary camera.
