This year, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is receiving a major upgrade in the form of a larger cover display. If you recall the previous generation models, their outer displays had very limited functionality, including viewing notifications, adding widgets, taking selfies, and a few other features. However, the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 will differ in this regard. In fact, it may come with some Google applications specially optimized for the cover screen.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 cover screen to get a major boost
A new Sammobile report claims Samsung is working with Google to add some apps to the cover display of Galaxy Z Flip 5. This apparently includes Google Maps, Google Messages, and YouTube. As per the outlet, these apps will be complemented by Samsung’s own applications, which are expected to be optimized for the cover display.
As mentioned, the cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to be significantly larger compared to previous models. It is likely to have a 3.4-inch cover display that occupies almost the entire top half of the device. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch panel on its cover. However, it’s worth noting that the outer display of the Z Flip 5 will still be smaller than that of the Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which features a 3.6-inch display.
Both the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 4 are expected to feature a new hinge mechanism and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The flip phone is expected to get a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED main display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will get dual rear camera setup, likely with 12MP main sensor. The smartphone is expected to launch at the Unpacked event later this year along with several other products.
