Samsung Taps CSOT for 15 Million Galaxy OLEDs to Cut Mid-Range Costs

Rising memory costs triggered a cost-cutting shift to CSOT panels for the A57 and S26 FE.

Overview

  • Samsung’s mobile division has reportedly ordered about 15 million OLED panels from CSOT for the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy S26 FE.
  • Industry reports say CSOT’s displays cost roughly 20% less than panels from Samsung Display.
  • Samsung Display challenged the move internally and escalated the dispute, but the mobile unit’s decision held.
  • Production using CSOT panels could begin as soon as next month, according to The Elec’s reporting.
  • Samsung Display is still expected to supply some panels, while flagship Galaxy models are likely to continue using in-house screens.
