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.

A rumor suggests that Samsung may equip the Galaxy S25 Ultra with an M13+ panel. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features an M13 panel, that said, the M13+ could be an improved iteration, bringing slight improvements and fixing issues.

The rumor says the M13+ panel will be different from the S24 Ultra’s M13. Samsung fixed the least possibility of a grainy display problem on the Galaxy S25 Ultra – despite skipping the M14 OLED’s adoption debuted with Pixel 9 and iPhone 16.

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.

Samsung Community alongside Reddit and X filled with reports for the same. Samsung acknowledged the problem, promising a fix firmware, but it didn’t do anything. The Galaxy S25 phones will apparently eliminate the glitch with M13+ OLED.
