This is not the first time Huawei had business deals with Samsung. The previous P20 Pro featured Samsung’s OLED panels. But for the following Mate 20 Pro, the OLED panels comes two different suppliers. Namely, BOE and LG. This business plan has affected the sale of Mate 20 Pro during the launch. Many users who received the Mate 20 Pro with the LG panel experienced problems while the BOE panels work fine.
Assuming that the rumour is legitimate, it should be interesting to see the P30 flagships with OLED displays. However, the P30 flagships will only be getting FHD+ panels because Samsung usually reserves its QHD panels for its own devices.
