It seems that Samsung could be working on the integration of microLED screens in your Galaxy Watch as a way to move away from OLED technologysomething that although we do not know if it is an improvement or not, it can definitely be a way of adjusting manufacturing costs to offer watches at more competitive prices.
Nowthe company already sells televisions with microLED panels, so the technology exists and is more than proven. In this way, many of the challenges have already been overcome, and it would only be necessary to work on aspects such as the miniaturization of the technology, something that seems to be going from strength to strength since according to GSM Arena, these panels would be launched this year.
This does not mean that Samsung watches will arrive this yearbut rather the screens will be available to smartwatch manufacturers who want to use them, because, for example, Apple uses Samsung OLED screens to manufacture its Apple Watchand it would not be surprising that they want to use the following new technology.
Two of the main advantages of microLED panels over OLED panels are a higher shine, very suitable when direct sunlight hits the screen, and higher energy efficiencysomething that improves the autonomy of the clock and reduces the heating of the panel.
