When it comes to smartphones, Samsung stands as one of the top 3-4 brands in the market and is also one of the world’s leading OLED display manufacturers. However, with its upcoming flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra, the company may fall behind its biggest competitor, Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro. Here are the details and what you need to know…

Galaxy S25 Display Won’t Be as Good as iPhone 16 Pro!

Important news has emerged regarding the screen features of Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Ultra. The South Korean tech giant may fall behind its competitors by opting not to use its latest-generation OLED panel in this device.

According to reports from reputable Korean tech sources, this unexpected decision stems from both cost factors and market saturation in the smartphone industry. Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, confirmed this, stating that the primary reason behind the decision is to cut costs and maximize profits from the device.

So, what’s the difference between the two screens? The differences between the M14 and M13 panels are substantial. The new M14 panels offer 20-30% higher energy efficiency and promise a longer lifespan. Additionally, thanks to red deuterium host technology, they produce more vivid and natural colors. The 3,000-nit brightness of the Google Pixel 9 Pro is also possible due to this new panel technology.

Industry experts note that another reason behind Samsung’s decision is a shift in its OLED panel renewal strategy.

Both Samsung and Apple now prefer to update OLED panel technology for flagship models every two years instead of annually. Considering the high performance of current panels and the slowdown in the smartphone market, this strategy is seen as a sensible move.
