It's also believed to be the sole supplier for the panels.

          Thank god they realized LG makes shit displays. BOE cant make enough at the moment even though they make good screens. LG really messed up the Mate 20 Pro screens all over the world with the green tint issues. I have 3 different Mate 20 Pros before returned them all and bought a Note 9. Not to mention the Note 9 screen looks so much better.

            That would explain why they went from Mate 20 Pro's 1440P to P30 Pro's 1080P display. Samsung panels are the most expensive, and also one of the best in the OLED category.

                Thank God they got rid of LG

                  Why don't Huawei just steal Samsung's trade secrets and make their own panels.

                    And the Gorilla Glass? Will it be now?

                      Why don't they ask to the same supplier of OLED screen for the Xperia XZ3, which, according to many average consumers, is currently the "best screen on a smartphone today?"
                      Also, if not exactly in 21:9, they could've given Samsung a more massive competition by offering their P30 Pro with a 4K HDR OLED screen like the Xperia 1. That, or keep it reserved for the Mate 30 Pro, or even better to offer both P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro with 4K HDR OLED screens.
                      That would just end Samsung's display legacy in smartphones, assuming that Huawei manages to get their screen calibrations right.
                      Funny enough for me to say that I prefer the Mate 20 Pro's OLED screen better than the new Galaxy S10+'s, and I really wish I was just joking when saying this. I sadly don't, and this is the truth, regardless of whatever that DisplayMate says....

IMO, it would be a foolish move for Huawei going back to Samsung for display. As Samsung and Huawei are competitors in smartphones, who know when Huawei will be betrayed again? Even Apple is shifting away from relying solely on Samsung.

                          Now US will ban Samsung for doing business with Huawei

Why would I need to thank suppliers of cellphone components when phone manufacturers are the ones who are actually choosing those parts and creating their own unique products?

                              As mentioned on other websites, some of the reasons for this decision was due to:

                              - BOE didn't have the sufficient capacity to fulfill Huawei's P30 Pro orders. BOE is currently building more AMOLED production facilities but it won't be ready until late 2019 or early 2020. Huawei needed the displays now so they went with Samsung who can make enough screens ahead of the phone release date.
                              -Samsung offered their displays for a cheap price so Huawei took up the offer.

                              These are just rumors, so take with a grain of salt.
