Samsung is Working on the Next Generation of Displays for Phones

Over the past few years, Samsung has become one of the most dominant manufacturers of displays and as per recent reports, the Korean tech giant is already working on a new form of display for its upcoming smartphones. The Company first released its AMOLED displays in 2008 and since then, the technology has taken over the smartphone world. AMOLED display technology was later developed into Super AMOLED and Dynamic AMOLED. The latter was used in the last two S-series flagship smartphones, i.e., Galaxy S10 series and Galaxy S20 series.
