Samsung’s new flagship phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, is launching with a CoE OLED display panel. The display technology, previously reported in a report, has been confirmed by reliable source Ice Universe, and details about the phone’s display structure and energy efficiency have become clearer. The new panel offers a thinner structure, lower energy consumption, and more vibrant colors compared to traditional OLED technology.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature a new display technology.

The CoE OLED display uses a color filter instead of the old polarizing filter. The standard Pixel Identification Layer (PDL) has also been replaced with a black PDL. These two changes reduce screen thickness and increase light transmittance. This increased transmittance results in lower energy consumption for the display. This allows the Galaxy S26 Ultra to offer longer battery life despite having the same battery capacity (5000 mAh) as its predecessor, the S25 Ultra.

Another enhancement to the new display panel is the third-generation CoE+ anti-reflective coating. This layer ensures clear viewing of the screen even under direct sunlight or near strong light sources. This coating reduces reflections and glare, significantly improving screen readability, especially when used outdoors.

In addition to these technological changes to the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display, the device is reportedly powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor, developed using either a 2nm or 3nm process. This processor operates with lower power consumption, boosting battery performance.

All these hardware improvements make the Galaxy S26 Ultra stronger in terms of display efficiency and energy management compared to its predecessor. What are your thoughts on this? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
