"BOE is reportedly trying to supply screens for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27. A new report from Korea claims that BOE has seen that TCL-owned CSOT has secured a contract with Samsung for the Galaxy A57 and would like to enter the Korean company's supply chain as well."
"Samsung Display is still the main display supplier for the Galaxy A57, but CSOT is the second supplier in terms of volume. With that in mind, Samsung is allegedly considering using BOE as a secondary supplier to Samsung Display for the Galaxy S27, but a decision hasn't been made yet."
"This would undoubtedly help Samsung Electronics save some money, which it can then use to pay for more expensive memory. Interestingly, the Korean media report that talks about all of this speculates that Samsung, at the group level, may not want to get BOE as a supplier for a high-end device made by Samsung Electronics as that would somehow weaken Samsung Display's negotiating position with Apple."
"At the end of the day, Chinese display panel makers are cheaper than Samsung Display, and that may factor into Samsung Electronics' decision especially considering the evolution of memory prices in recent months. We'll have to wait and see what actually happens."
BOE is reportedly trying to supply display panels for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S27. A Korea report says BOE wants to join Samsung’s supply chain after seeing that TCL-owned CSOT secured a contract for the Galaxy A57. Samsung Display remains the primary display supplier for the Galaxy A57, while CSOT is the second supplier by volume. Samsung is allegedly considering BOE as an additional secondary supplier for the Galaxy S27, but no decision has been made. The move could help Samsung Electronics reduce display costs and redirect savings toward more expensive memory. The report also suggests Samsung may hesitate to add BOE for a high-end Samsung Electronics device to avoid weakening Samsung Display’s negotiating position with Apple. Chinese panel makers are generally cheaper than Samsung Display, which may influence the final decision as memory prices evolve.
