Xiaomi signs deal with Samsung to use its OLED displays for next flagship


According to a recent report from a Korean publicationĀ (The Investor), it seems that Samsung signed a huge deal with Xiaomi, in order to supply aĀ 6.01-inch rigid OLED panel for the Chinese company with the first shipment starting from December. About 1 million units will be shipped in the first month, followed by another 2.2 million units in the next month!

Originally Xiaomi had planned to useĀ a 5.49-inch flexible OLED panel from LG Display but the deal reportedly fell apart as the Korean company’s new plant operation was seriously delayed. During the past couple of yearsĀ Samsung Display and LG Display are trying to “steal” customers one from the other promoting their OLED screen panels and this time Samsung scored big time.

In case you don’t remember, Xiaomi already used such a panel for the Mi Note 2 model (with 1080p resolution) and wasĀ expected to useĀ a newer generation (QHD resolution) for the new Note. However – as we mentioned above- LG’s new plantĀ called E5, is expected to start operations in August, about three months later than planned, due to problems from the FHD to QHD panel resolution transition.

    i’m sure they will use that cheap-ass pentile layout which means that QHD OLED will be as sharp as FHD IPS or even less.
    No good for VR and an extra load on GPU.
