Earlier this month, it was reported that Samsung is working with Google to integrate optimized apps for the secondary display on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 . Now, a tipster has mentioned that Google Maps will be accessible on the cover screen of the upcoming foldable offering. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 5 along with other devices at the upcoming Unpacked event by the end of July.
Google Maps will run on Galaxy Z Flip 5’s cover screen
The most notable upgrade on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 over its predecessor is the large cover screen on the back panel with the recently leaked press renders almost confirming it. The secondary display is expected to measure 3.4 inches bearing a 720p resolution. It will also feature a unique folder-like icon to ensure that there is enough space for a dual rear camera setup.
The integration of Google Maps on a secondary screen means that users will be able to access it without having to unfold the device. However, it remains to be seen how Maps would function on the secondary display. Since it will be an optimized version of the app, it will likely show important navigation updates and not the whole app. We will have to wait and learn about this. Regardless, the integration would make the utility app helpful for users on the flip phone.
As for the core specifications, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will reportedly be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The upcoming foldable flip phone is tipped to be backed by a 3,700mAh battery unit with support for 25W fast charging.
