The VP of Samsung Display is the gift that kept on giving in the last few days, divulging secrets from the Galaxy Fold re-release kitchen. During the Korean Information Display Society forum in Seoul, Mr Kim Seong-cheol said that his department is on “standby,” ready to go into mass production of displays for the Galaxy Fold, as Samsung has apparently resolved the two issues with the screen packaging that rose during the initial preview phase.

We plan to engage in a technological competition, and not a competition of production

Kim Seong-cheol also didn’t mince words when he detailed Samsung’s OLED expansion plans. He frankly stated as a fact that the Chinese OLED makers like BOE that supply screens to Huawei or Xiaomi, will surpass Samsung in terms of panels produced in 2020. 

That’s not very worrying for Samsung, though, as apparently it intends to keep the lead in OLED superiority with new features and focusing on quality instead of quantity, according to the VP of its Display division. Thus, Samsung’s work on the screen technology for the Galaxy Fold will be keeping it ahead of the value-for-money Chinese pack, and we can’t wait to see how the Fold issues have been resolved.
