Rumor: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra fixes grainy display without M14 OLED
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra fixes the grainy display issue spotted on S24 Ultra, despite skipping the M14 OLED upgrade. The company is not adopting the most advanced OLED display technology but reportedly fixed a major quality issue.

Additionally, the M13+ screen is said to be more power efficient and have better color production. The content will render with even more vibrant colors on the Galaxy S25 series panel – all without compromising battery performance.
Meanwhile, the panel is unlikely to boost the brightness aspect. Samsung is adopting the M13 panel to avoid cost concerns in the upcoming phones. A recent rumor revealed that the Galaxy S25 series will not get any price increment.
Grainy Display
Following the Galaxy S24 Ultra launch, users observed that the display had a grainy or sandy texture. It occurs mostly in dark colors and at low brightness settings, indicating a hardware deficiency rather than a software glitch.
