Overview
- 9to5Google, citing ETNews, reports that Samsung Display’s new M16 OLED will appear on Google’s Pixel 11, Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro, and a foldable iPhone.
- Pixel 11 could land first because Google typically launches in August, about a month before new iPhones.
- Samsung’s current Galaxy S26 uses an M14 panel, and reporting points to the Galaxy S27 as the likely M16 upgrade window.
- M16 is Samsung Display’s next high-end OLED material set, and the report did not disclose specific gains such as brightness or power use.
- Context for Pixel buyers includes Google’s recent focus on display quality, continued sourcing from Samsung and BOE, and unverified leaks of a modest redesign and MediaTek modem testing.
