[Reuters] LG planning collab with "Japanese, Chinese companies" to mass produce OLED

Well there's another issue: most cell phones with OLED are terrible oversaturated.

Take a look at a good LCD mobile display with accurate or near-accurate D65 color temperature and controlled vibrancy, and it is quite good looking.

Apple phones tend to have good IPS LCD panels, and the quantum-dot LCD panels on recent Sony Xperia phones are terrific.

OLED is great, but so many phones have so-so examples and have colors that are saturated beyond reason. People do find that kind of look pleasing, and is why even expensive TVs come with wild settings that need to be reigned in if you want a truly great display.

That's a matter of calibration on the phone OEMs' part. Displaymate's review of the Note 4 and Edge' displays show that their displays measure among the best.

Displaymate has show how samsungs oled has been properly calibraed for three generation now. Ig's not the technology's fault if OEM's can't use it correctly. Same goes for LCD obviously.

This is not always the case. Inherent issues with either the panel itself or the display drivers can be impossible to correct. Contrary to what you may have heard, you cannot calibrate every display to perfect accuracy. And I highly doubt phones are utilizing ICC profiles or similar software correction (unless added or used by the user, it can be a built in option like on the Xperia lineup).

Look at LGs WOLED panels in their TVs, one panel review I saw said they couldn't even calibrate the panel as an end user with pro equipment, or should I say they couldn't get it properly calibrated.

Sometimes, a panel just cannot be corrected by any means.

And yes, I have been hearing tremendous things about the recent Galaxy panels. I never said ALL OLED displays are terrible, just many out there. Also my experience is with Samsung-produced panels in older phones a few years ago.

Like how the majority of LCD panels sold are cheap, awful 6 bit panels with terrible color accuracy and even worse viewing angles?

That's not going to change with OLED. People like cheap "good enough" stuff. There will be great OLED displays coming. The vast majority, like LCDs, will end up being cheap "good enough" stuff that the masses will gobble up.

You forgot their worst quality; [redacted] black levels which give them the contrast ratio of a cheap 1980's CRT television.
