Samsung‘s upcoming Unpacked event in July is highly anticipated, and rumors suggest that the company will unveil a new Galaxy Z Flip device with an expanded cover display. Recently leaked marketing renders shared by MySmartPrice provide a glimpse into the potential size of the Z Flip 5’s external screen, offering a significant increase compared to its predecessor, the Z Flip 4.
While the exact dimensions of the cover display haven’t been disclosed, the render suggests a substantial enlargement over the 1.9-inch screen of the Z Flip 4. Moreover, Samsung appears to have refined the design of the display around the Z Flip 5’s primary camera array, presenting a more elegant solution than what Motorola achieved with the Razr+.
The introduction of a larger cover display on the Z Flip 5 brings certain advantages, particularly in framing selfies using the device’s main camera. However, there are potential drawbacks to consider as well. The increased screen size could impact the device’s battery life unless Samsung equips it with a higher-capacity battery. It’s also worth noting that the smaller cover screen on the Z Flip 4 contributes to its appeal, offering limited functionality that allows users to disconnect from typical smartphone distractions while still accessing essential information.
Samsung is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 5 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5 at its upcoming event. The official announcement will confirm whether the new foldable device features a larger screen, satisfying the curiosity surrounding Samsung’s latest addition to the flip phone lineup.
