News & Reviews:   BOE

OnePlus’ first-ever foldable, the OnePlus Open made its debut yesterday with some impressive specs, including dual screens with a whopping 2800 nits peak brightness. Well, it looks like the company ain’t resting on its laurels as today, OnePlus, together with sister company OPPO and BOE are releasing a new 3000 nits smartphone display.

The HUAWEI Mate 50 series could be around the corner, with quite some of its rumours popping up recently. Yesterday, we only saw the news saying that the upcoming devices might get powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G chip. Today, we received a new one claiming they will debut with BOE's new flexible display.

After this incident, display manufacturer BOE might have ruined its opportunities with Apple. According to the latest report, BOE has gotten caught by the iPhone maker as it quietly lowered the specs on the iPhone displays it made.

Reliable tipster regarding everything Apple, Ross Young has recently revealed the display suppliers for the upcoming iPhone 14 series. Shared via Twitter, Young claimed that the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get a mix of suppliers, while the iPhone 14 Pro will exclusively get its screens from Samsung.

It feels like the OLED iPads are getting more realistic with this new information. According to the source, there are already three display manufacturers gearing up for the production of the OLED displays to be supplied to Apple.

Yesterday, HONOR shared a poster for its upcoming global press conference that happens on 12 August and we are excited about what's to come. It is suggested that HONOR could launch the global version HONOR 50 series and debut the Magic 3 series during the conference. However, let's not forget that the brand is rumoured to launch its first foldable smartphone later on as well. The latest information has arrived claiming that the device will sport an 8-inch display.

When Apple designed the iPhone 12 series, OLED panels from BOE was part of the plan. Things didn't quite work on at the time, but it seems like the company will be catching up at last. Sources claim that BOE is now back in Apple's plan and will help supply the Apple with OLED panels.

It is worth mentioning that Apple doesn't only source from one manufacturer when it comes to building the iPhone 12 series. The company currently has Samsung and LG Display supplying OLED display panels to them. Other than the two, there's also BOE trying to join the supply chain but has failed. Now, it is reported the Chinese manufacturer couldn't pass Apple's validation the second time for some reasons.

Apart from not able to use Google Services and work with various chip suppliers from the U.S., HUAWEI is now facing another new challenge. Today, it is reported that Samsung and LG have both decided to stop supplying display to the Chinese manufacturer.

Earlier, it was rumoured that Samsung was considering using screens made by Chinese firm BOE on their new smartphones. The change comes as it's believed that BOE’s OLED panels are cheaper than Samsung’s in-house screens. However, it is reported that the panels supplied by BOE couldn't make it to become the screens of the next Galaxy S series as they have failed in quality tests.
