Samsung and BOE cooperation is bolstering after the recent patent settlement, and a deal for Galaxy S displays is allegedly on the cards.

Samsung Display is a prime supplier of OLED screens for flagship devices. Not just Galaxy S, but Galaxy Z and Galaxy Tab devices prioritize in-house OLEDs. BOE might be awarded with a small portion for premium devices, via Dealsite.

Recently, BOE’s Chairman Chen Yanshun met with Samsung’s TM Roh to deepen ties. MX Division may cut a little portion of Samsung Display and hand it to Chinese vendor BOE, and the volume could be adjusted further.

The meeting was held for LCD panel supplies for TVs, but industry insiders believe it also covered smartphone OLED supply. In the past, Samsung sourced screens for its non-flagship Galaxy A/M/F series phones from BOE.

BOE is joining Samsung Mobile’s supply chain once again, and it could secure orders for Galaxy S displays, as per Jukan. The deal hasn’t finalized yet as the Chinese OLED giant has just made a request to officials.

Samsung’s MX Division is facing issues due to rising costs of application processors, camera sensors, and DRAM. That said, the company is exploring ways to reduce costs to avoid a steep price hike in smartphones.

BOE is credible as it has Apple as its only global customer. Apple uses BOE-made OLEDs in low-tier iPhone models along with panels made by Samsung and LG Display. We may see Galaxy S phones featuring BOE screens in the future.
