Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a brilliant clamshell foldable but unlike its competitors, the smartphone comes with a smaller outer screen with limited functions. It can be used to see your current notifications, battery percentage, date, and time, but not a whole lot more. However, it seems the Korean company is planning on upsizing the cover display with the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Some leaked renders show evidence for the same.

A design render shared by Sammobile suggests Samsung is going to do some major changes on its upcoming clamshell foldable. As you can see in the image, the cover screen for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 appears to be quite a bit larger compared to previous models. It can be seen taking up most of the space on the front outer display and is definitely larger than what Oppo offers on the latest Find N2 Flip.

While it is unclear how Samsung will utilize a larger cover screen, we can expect it to offer far more functions than its predecessor. It is possible that the brand might allow full-fledged Android apps to be used on the outer display, especially since numerous third-party developers are already doing so. It may also include support for timers, the camera, and weather forecast.

Although the exact dimensions of the cover screen are not disclosed, sources tell Sammobile that it will fall within the range of 3 to 4 inches. Nevertheless, based on the measurements of the Galaxy Z Flip 4, the publication anticipates that it will most likely be closer to the lower end of that range.
