Huawei Mate 20 Pro OLED display comes from BOE rather than Samsung or LG

While the size of the Apple-inspired screen cutout is certainly not ideal on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, you get super-advanced 3D Face Unlock functionality courtesy of that extra-wide notch.
After booking its OLED orders from industry top dog and arch-rival Samsung for last year’s Mate 10 Pro, Huawei was rumored to be pursuing a partnership with BOE a few months back. The newly formed alliance has reportedly materialized in the meantime, as the new supplier is apparently behind the beautifully curved AMOLED panel of the Mate 20 Pro.
If this display proves in real life as impressive as it looks on paper, BOE could well become a prime candidate for a backup spot in the production of Apple’s next-gen iPhones. The Chinese company, founded back in 1993 and focused mainly on LCD technology until recently, was reportedly in talks with the Cupertino-based giant back in July for a future collaboration.
There’s also the luxury Mate 20 RS Porsche Design, which seems to come with the exact same display of the Mate 20 Pro, following in the footsteps of a Mate RS Porsche Design that actually used an LG-made panel. Apparently, Huawei is not as forgiving or patient as Google.
