In August of this year, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, featuring the expected incremental improvements. Notably, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 now boasts a larger cover display, increasing from 1.9 inches to 3.4 inches. This enhancement was well-received, and there are hints from a tipster suggesting an even larger screen for the Flip in the coming year.
Rumors About the Larger Displays on Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6
Looking ahead to 2024, tipster Ross Young, the co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), anticipates that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will sport larger displays compared to their predecessors. Young specifically mentions an estimated 3.6-inch cover display for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, a notable upgrade from the 3.4-inch display on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Details about the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cover display remain undisclosed.
A larger cover display for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 would provide additional functionalities without the need to open the phone, aligning with the trend observed in competitors like Motorola and OPPO. Despite these potential improvements, it’s interesting to note Samsung’s historically gradual approach to upgrades in its foldable lineup.
Moreover, there are reports of camera upgrades in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, with Samsung purportedly testing prototype models featuring a 50MP primary camera, a significant leap from the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s 12MP camera.
Looking forward, there are indications that Samsung may introduce more affordable foldables in the coming year, with a rumored ‘Galaxy Z FE’ model in development. Positioned as a lighter version of either the Flip or Fold, the Galaxy Z FE is expected to feature toned-down specifications and features compared to the flagship lineup. However, these details are currently speculative, and more information about a potential FE foldable is awaited.
