In addition to making many of the best Android phones around, Samsung also makes the best OLED panels but that doesn't mean its smartphone division gets the first dibs at its finest offerings. The company's best display is apparently destined for the forthcoming Google Pixel 9 series and Apple iPhone 16 Pro duo.
Apple's 2024 Pro models and Google's entire upcoming lineup will reportedly use the M14 OLED technology. Samsung is one of the industry leaders when it comes to screens and it makes the most high-performance OLED screens with the latest materials.
The company's most advanced displays are a part of its M series of screens. A higher model number indicates a higher-quality screen.
The M14 tech will be introduced for the first time with the Pixel 9 family, which Google will reportedly unveil on August 13. Apart from the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, the second-generation Pixel Fold is also rumored to feature the M14 material.
This is going to be the first time that we'll see this material on a smartphone and it's expected to be superior to existing technologies in terms of brightness and lifespan.
Per a previous report, next year's iPhone 17 series will likely also stick with M14 screens as each generation of material is typically used for two years.
