Samsung Galaxy S25 family to cut costs in display technology | Infinium-tech

Now Samsung is rumored to be saving some money on displays for its upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to arrive in January with three members: the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. To save said money, the company will reportedly use M13 organic material for its displays.

Google’s Pixel 9 Pro and Apple iPhone 16 Pro already use panels with M14 material, and they’re also made by Samsung Display. But Samsung Electronics will reportedly go with the older and cheaper option to make some extra cash – rest assured that the savings won’t be passed on to buyers.

If you are wondering what the M14 material brings compared to M13, it is apparently 20-30% higher efficiency and 10-20% longer lifespan. If we just compare the numbers, the peak brightness also appears to be slightly higher. This rumor originated in Korea but has also been confirmed by Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants, a generally reliable source of supply chain-related information for smartphones.

All that being said, keep in mind that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will undoubtedly continue to use the Gorilla Glass armor that was introduced by its predecessor, which significantly reduces screen reflectivity. This means that the low brightness will last longer because it doesn’t have to fight reflections.
