Samsung announced the Galaxy S22 series earlier this month at the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event. Out of all three phones, the Galaxy S22 Ultra offers the best mobile technology from the South Korean tech giant. One of the key features of this premium slab smartphone is its bright display. Turns out the screen material used by the company is from last year.

A report by The Elec says that the OLED material set on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the same as the one found on Galaxy S21. It is officially called M11. Despite that, it offers a better peak brightness level of 1,750 nits.

Usually, Samsung Electronics introduces new OLED material set on the Galaxy S series. The company has been doing this from the Galaxy S10 series to Galaxy S21 Ultra. For the first time, it has broken this streak.

Samsung Display display uses M series of material sets for the OLED panels, which it supplies to Samsung Electronics and Apple. For those unaware, an OLED material set consists of red, green and blue pixels’ dopant, host, as well as prime.

The publication’s sources suggest that Samsung may have opted for an older tech to control the cost, and therefore,  focus more on the shipments on the Galaxy S22 series when compared to the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S20 series. So far, the pre-order numbers are positive from multiple regions.

On the other hand, the Galaxy S22+ also uses the M11 material set, which is an upgrade over M10 found on the Galaxy S21+. However, the vanilla Galaxy S22 still comes with the older M10 just like its predecessor Galaxy S21.

Further, Samsung is planning to utilize the M9 material set for its mid to low-end smartphones in 2022, which is an upgrade over M8 used in 2020. The latest M12 material set is expected to debut on the next-gen foldables from Samsung and iPhone 14 series, an upgrade over M11 found on their predecessors.

Finally, Samsung Display is expected to sell OLED panels with legacy E series material set to Chinese smartphone brands at a lowered price tag.
