Samsung's M14 OLED Panel

The standout feature of the Pixel 9 series is its use of Samsung’s M14 OLED panel. In Samsung’s naming convention, “M” denotes the material series used in their OLED displays, while the number signifies the material grade. A higher number indicates superior performance in terms of overall brightness and lifespan of the display panel.

The M14 OLED panel, representing Samsung’s pinnacle in display technology, promises enhanced visual experiences with remarkable brightness and longevity. This cutting-edge panel will not only be featured in Google’s Pixel 9 series but will also make an appearance in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, scheduled for release in September. However, Apple will continue to use the previous generation M12 panel for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to manage production costs.
