The 69-inch Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra's 120Hz OLED display is great But Samsung has just announced an even better new OLED screen

The new display, made by Samsung Display and announced in a press release, is optimized for 5G phones The screen will have two benefits: reduced power consumption and reduced blue light, but we have higher hopes for the former

We are looking for higher efficiency, as the Galaxy S20 Ultra lost 3 hours of battery life with the display's 120Hz mode enabled In addition, the Galaxy S20 Ultra's 5G radio may have affected its durability Therefore, improved efficiency should be a big help for the Galaxy Note 20

How much improvement? According to testing institute UL, Samsung's new panel consumes 15% less power The average power consumption dropped from 15W to 13W when performing various activities such as taking pictures, watching entertainment, and surfing the web

According to SGS, a testing and verification company, Samsung's new OLED displays also emit 65% of blue light, lower than the 75% emitted by Samsung's OLED panels released last year

Studies have shown that while blue light is not harmful to the eyes, blue light does affect sleep quality; given that screen use time is expected to increase further as 5G networks become more prevalent, some users feel that less blue light makes the viewing experience more pleasant Some users feel that the viewing experience will be more pleasant with less blue light

Samsung's release cites data that "smartphone monthly data usage is also expected to increase significantly from 7GB in 2018 to 32GB in 2024"

Samsung Display has not mentioned when this new screen will be available, but it is certainly possible that it will appear on the Galaxy Note 20, which is expected to be announced in July
