Last months we heard reports that Coasia Microelectronics (a Samsung component distributor) is expected to get new AMOLED panel orders from several Chinese handset makers. Today Digitimes reports that Coasia is now supplying Samsung's AMOLED panels for Xiaomi OPPO and Gionee, and will start shipping panels in Q3 2012.
Supreme, another Samsung distributor, is also entering the Chinese market, and the company delivered AMOLED samples to ZTE, Hisense and TCL. They expect to start shipping panels in Q4 2012.
Oppo already has an AMOLED phone, the Finder. It's the world's slimmest smartphone at 6.64mm and it features a 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display. It is now selling for ¥3,999 (about $630).
