Samsung denies as Apple wants cheaper OLED for iPhone SE 4: Report
Apple is reportedly working on a new device and the Cupertino-based company was in talks with Samsung and other manufacturers for the supply of display panels. Meanwhile, a new report suggests that Samsung denies this deal as Apple wants cheaper OLED for iPhone SE 4.
According to the details, Apple is been considering top manufacturers like Samsung and BOE as the main suppliers for the OLED of its iPhone SE 4. Consequently, the US tech giant is planning to launch the iPhone SE 4 next year with an expected production of 15 million units.
However, this massive production volume might make the iPhone SE 4 extremely beneficial for suppliers, but Samsung Display has refused to provide a display for the phone. Because, Apple has rejected Samsung’s offer of $30 per panel and seeking a more budget-friendly option.
Yes, the US tech giant only wants to pay $25 per display and is therefore said to be switching to Chinese manufacturers such as BOE for production. Notably, Apple’s focus on cost-saving for its budget-oriented iPhone SE line is legible, as displays are among the most expensive components.

Previously leaked renders of the iPhone SE 4 hint that, Apple is planning to offer some significant changes with its upcoming affordable phone because the design of the device looks identical to the iPhone 14.

Samsung users have been facing a frustrating issue with the NotiStar app on their Galaxy phones. Many users have reported that they receive duplicate notifications for messages regularly. This issue occurs with messaging apps and regular text messages.
Instead of one notification, users are getting two for every single message. For example, if a friend sends a message, the user receives its notification twice. It means that users are observing the same notification being displayed twice.
Samsung has acknowledged the duplicate notification issue of NotiStar. In addition, a community moderator has reassured users that the team is actively investigating the issue. He mentioned that Samsung will improve this phenomenon in an upcoming app update to fix the duplicate notification issue.
Users can expect an update soon, which should help remove duplicate notifications and improve how the app works. Samsung is actively working on a solution, and the promise of an update is encouraging for many. For now, Galaxy users can keep an eye out for the upcoming NotiStar app update.

Samsung is rumored to launch a slimmer foldable smartphone this year. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could introduce the best crease control yet. The input comes from a reputed source who also revealed the phone’s existence.
IceUniverse claims that Samsung has done a good job in Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition crease control. The next foldable phone is expected to offer an even less visible crease around the flexing area of the foldable display.
With each generation, the Korean tech giant introduces technological breakthroughs. The Fold 6 features a premium screen with minimally visible crease. The induction of the waterdrop hinge last year changed the game and competition.

Will you buy Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition?
Before consumers, it depends on Samsung whether it wants everyone to buy the SE or not. The company could launch the slimmer foldable in select countries. South Korea and China are most likely, with the handset also listed in India.
The Special Edition model could feature a slimmer design compared to the Z Fold 6. The Korean tech giant is also said to be bringing a larger cover and internal display. We may also see a 200-megapixel primary camera from the S24 Ultra.
On the software end, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE could ship with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1. The Galaxy AI would play a key role in pushing it into the competition. There’s no doubt Samsung offers the best software experience on large screens.
The hardware part won’t lag as well. Samsung’s upcoming Z Fold 6 SE is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. It’s the same chipset that powers the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
