According to a leak posted by tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi may incorporate new Real RGB OLED screens into its next flagship and sub-flagship smartphones. The Xiaomi 16 and Redmi K90 series may be the first to use the 2K Real RGB OLED screens, which are expected to go into commercial production in September.

Because of its full RGB sub-pixel architecture, these panels enable independent light emission from each red, green, and blue sub-pixel. The popular PenTile pattern, which uses fewer sub-pixels per pixel and may result in less visual clarity, is different from this structure. Notably when producing text, the Real RGB pattern enhances clarity and reduces pixel density loss. The panel promises to preserve OLED’s benefits, such deep blacks and great contrast, while matching the clarity of LCD screens at the same resolution.

Also, the Real RGB OLED solves a significant problem with conventional OLED panels: screen burn-in brought on by the blue sub-pixels’ lower lifespan. Some reports, TCL CSOT, the panel’s most likely supplier, has increased the blue sub-pixel’s luminous efficiency in an effort to prolong the panel’s lifetime.

The alleged usage of a new 6.59-inch ±2K LTPS flat display by Xiaomi in the Redmi K90 series is also related to the leak. As the press reports, that panel has next-generation materials and a high pixel density. The focus on modern design and captivating graphics is suggested by the design’s expected low bezels, wide aspect ratio, and large-radius corners.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen for the Redmi K80 was created along with TCL CSOT. Xiaomi’s movement toward greater visual fidelity and power efficiency may be reflected in the K90 series’ switch to a somewhat smaller but sharper display. Based on timing and product positioning, the Xiaomi 16 and Redmi K90 are both excellent contenders, even if the precise models that will feature the new panels have not yet been revealed.

Before the year is out, the new panels might be found in consumer electronics due to mass production that begins in September.
