ZTE had a large booth at MWC 2016, and the Chinese phone maker introduced and demonstrate three OLED phones. All these phones sport SDC-made Super AMOLED displays.
First up we have the Axon Mini, an Android 5 smartphone that features a 5.2" FHD (424 PPI) Super AMOLED display, an octa-core CPU, 13 MP camera, 3GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage and Dual-SIM support. The Axon Mini was actually introduced a few months ago, but only now did ZTE provide the specifications.
The strangely-named Axon Nubia My Prauge is an Android smartphone that features a 5.2" FHD Super AMOLED display, an octa-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, a microSD slot and a 13 MP rear camera.
The Nubia My Prague phone was on display at MWC 2016, but ZTE did not reveal the price or release date.

About a year ago, after talking to lots of people in the business, we spotted a gap in the OLED market. Whilst OLED was a term that was being bandied around as the technology that allowed lamps and lighting to move into a new generation, designers and enthusiasts were finding it difficult to get information on the available products and get hold of the panels and lamps themselves.
So, we created Organic Lights to offer a platform that brings everyone together to enjoy the brilliance of the lighting source of today. Organic Lights can unite designers to manufacturers to DIYers in order to share a common interest in OLED. We have the perfect mix of expertise, marketing power and a huge network of business contacts. We are the only solely OLED-based company in the World which means that OLED always takes precedence; the lamps and panels take pride of place and are not tucked in the back pages of a design catalogue. This feeds into our company philosophy that OLED technology deserves to be championed in its own right.

LG's mobile division Chief, Cho Juno, said that LG has big hopes for the new G5 smartphone, and hopes to sell at least 10 million G5 phones by the end of the year - which will be a new record for LG.
The G5 uses an LCD display, but Cho says that LG could start using OLED displays for its flagship phones by the second half of 2017. LG will not purchase panels from Samsung Display, but it is waiting for LG Display to start producing OLEDs for mobile phones.
