Huawei Mate 20 Pro will apparently use a huge 6.9-inch OLED display from Samsung. According to a report from South Korea’s The Bell, Samsung has already begun supplying various samples to Huawei. The report further said the production of the OLED panel is expected to start sometime in Q3 2018. Huawei is reportedly planning to launch the Mate 20 Pro in Q4 this year or Q1 2019.

The panel will be almost close to 7-inches, which means it will be greater than any other smartphone available on the market today. Huawei P20 and P20 Pro feature 5.8-inch and 6.1-inch displays, while the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro have 5.9-inch and 6-inch displays, respectively. Huawei is targeting China with a 6.9-inch smartphone, which is traditionally inclined towards large-screen phones.
