OnePlus launched the Ace 6 Ultra in China, pairing a Dimensity 9500 chipset with a massive 8,600 mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging, a 6.78-inch AMOLED display at 165 Hz, and a dual-camera setup (50 MP main + 8 MP ultrawide), starting at 2,999 CNY (~$439) for 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, with higher RAM/storage options available up to 16 GB/1 TB.
A German retailer listing via WinFuture reveals the Galaxy Book 6 Edge as a 16-inch AMOLED Windows laptop with a non-touch matte display (2,880x1,800, 120Hz, 500 nits). It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite X2E-88-100, offering two configurations: 16GB RAM/512GB and 32GB RAM/1TB. Connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, two USB-C 4.0 ports, USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI 2.1, 3.5mm jack, and microSD. The chassis weighs 1.55 kg, is 12.3 mm thick, and runs Windows 11 Home, with a reported 61.8kWh battery rated up to 22 hours. Pricing is €2,199 for the base model and €2,800 for the top variant; launch date remains unannounced, and the Edge model’s touch capability is reportedly absent.
Notebookcheck reports that the Galaxy S26 Ultra uses an 8-bit Dynamic AMOLED panel rather than a true 10-bit display, despite early media hype; speculation about Frame Rate Control existed, but Samsung reportedly confirmed the 8-bit panel, a move that could keep costs down and leaves the device behind the iPhone 17 Pro Max with its 10-bit OLED panels.
TCL is upgrading its glare-free NXTPAPER displays by adopting AMOLED technology to boost brightness, outdoor performance, and color while preserving eye-friendly benefits. The AMOLED NXTPAPER aims for up to 3,200 nits brightness, 120Hz refresh, full color gamut, and blue-light reduction as low as 2.9%. Demonstrations at CES and plans to launch an AMOLED NXTPAPER smartphone by year-end are in motion, with MWC 2026 coverage ongoing but no device announced yet.
Samsung Display's mobile panels might transition to using blue PHOLED (Phosphorescent OLED) in the second half of 2025, replacing the current blue fluorescent materials used in their AMOLED displays. While initially predicted for mid-2024, the development of blue phosphorescent material seems to be facing challenges. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable phones could potentially be the first to benefit from this technology, but durability concerns may prevent its mainstream adoption. Blue PHOLEDs offer higher luminous efficiency and reduced power consumption, but their lifespan is currently lower compared to blue fluorescent materials. Despite the challenges, Samsung Display is expected to continue developing blue PHOLEDs to become the first manufacturer capable of mass-producing AMOLED panels with blue phosphorescent pixels.
