In an intriguing development for smartphone enthusiasts, the upcoming Galaxy A57 and Galaxy S26 FE are set to differentiate themselves with OLED panels sourced from the Chinese manufacturer, CSOT. This shift marks a significant transition, as historically, Samsung Display has been the exclusive supplier for Samsung's A5x series, which is renowned for its high specifications in the mid-range market.
Changes in the Air
Industry insiders have revealed that the Galaxy A57 will embrace this new OLED technology, breaking from tradition. Moreover, the Galaxy S26 FE is expected to feature the same innovative display, placing a spotlight on CSOT's capabilities.
