Those conversant with the recent happenings in the tech industry would be aware of the display problems that have been encountered on the Pixel 2 XL, Google’s latest flagship model. A number of users have reported issues with viewing angles and display burn-in. For a phone with such high price tag, the snag experienced were not expected.

Samsung seems to have seen this as a perfect opportunity to project its own flagship models. The tech giant recently released a video which is basically a compendium of positive reviews the display of its latest phones had received from different reviewers. Samsung is a leader in OLED displays and apart from using its displays on its models, their displays are supplied to other OEMs including Apple who utilises Samsung OLED panels on the latest iPhone X. The video is a short 30 seconds clip but it features some of the top tech reviewers that you find on YouTube. The clips were taken from their reviews of the Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and the latest Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung’s latest flagships all come with the company’s display technology. Most importantly, they use a full-screen design with an infinity display. This has placed the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 some steps ahead of the competition in terms of display. Despite that, Samsung isn’t lying low while the competition tries to gain ground especially with Google’s latest drive in hardware.

As Xiaomi’s product lineup expands, its customers also are increasing rapidly. Despite having a lot of other products like wearables, air conditioners, water purifiers etc, the core of Xiaomi’s business has always been its smartphones. And the company releases at least one phone every quarter. This has significantly increased its fan base in the past couple of years, and it is now a well know brand in Asian countries like India and even in other continents.

Up till now, Xiaomi has been using IPS LCD displays for its flagship smartphones, but that may change in the future. According to Korean media, Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun is reportedly visiting Seoul, South Korea for the first time, to meet Samsung Electronics executives. Meeting Samsung’s executives could be a good indicator of Xiaomi’s plans to partner with the South Korean company for supplying components to its smartphones.

According to the report, Xiaomi will be meeting Jeon Young-hyun, who is the president of Samsung’s memory chip division (smartphones). Along with Jeon, Lei Jun is also expected to meet other Samsung executives from the company’s Display department. Considering Samsung enjoys a major share (more than 90%) of the smartphone OLED market, there is a good chance that Lei Jun is visiting to talk about the possibly supply of OLED displays for the company’s smartphones.

We had seen reports about Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Huawei, and Vivo planning to release curved edge smartphones. Moreover, lately, we also have been hearing a lot about curved display smartphones from Xiaomi, like the Mi Note Edge. Given that Samsung leads the dual curved edge display market for smartphones, this meeting could be to talk about supplying curved displays for Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphones.

Lei Jun could even talk about the supply of Samsung’s Exynos chipsets for Xiaomi flagships. We have seen the Exynos family get better and better in the past couple of years and the Exynos 8990 is presently one of the best chips in the market. I am sure fans won’t mind seeing an Exynos powered Xiaomi flagship in the market.

We will have to wait and see whether how these two companies can work together to bring the latest technologies to Xiaomi smartphones in the future.
