The cover display plays a vital role in foldable smartphones, letting users get basic tasks done without unfolding the entire phone. The usability of Samsung’s flip-style foldable phones always remains limited due to the outer display’s size, but it won’t remain a concern as soon as August arrives.
Samsung’s original Galaxy Z Flip smartphone brought a tiny cover display that expands just 1.1 inches. As an initial product, the form factor was quite unique and just a limited number of consumers have had a problem with the tiny size of this outer display.
The company heard from consumers and upgraded the cover display size on the Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G smartphone. The device comes with a 1.9-inch Super AMOLED cover display and got praised by consumers. Using the software, Samsung further extended the usability of this external screen.

Motorola’s Razr 2022 brings a larger display than the Galaxy Z Flip 3, hence, consumers expected another display size upgrade with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G. But, it didn’t happen! Samsung continued using the Flip 3-like 1.9-inch Super AMOLED outer screen in the Z Flip 4 5G too.
Seeing rivals, Samsung joined the megapixels race and brought the 200MP primary camera with the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone. And one more time, the company seems to beat Chinese vendors that doing anything to manipulate the foldable market.
Tipster IceUniverse yesterday revealed that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 5G will come with a larger cover display. Not only larger, but this screen will surpass Oppo’s recently announced Find N2 Flip phone, which brings a massive 3.26-inch external display.

Today, the same source shared an identical image showing off the possible design of the cover display and foldable panel of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. As per the image, the outer display of Galaxy Z Flip 5 would be squarish, as part of giving the feel like its main screen.
It was yet to see which kind of dimensional changes the company will make in the Galaxy Z Flip 5 this year. However, Ice again comes up with a self-created render of a possible cover display design of the Korean tech giant’s next Flip-style smartphone. And here I melted down!
I know, the image is not of a real product but hopefully, there will be a much larger outer display on the next Samsung flip. Look at the image, which is identical to the design of the Galaxy Z Flip 5! If it’s going to be real, the Galaxy Flip 5 will fulfill my biggest wish with foldables!

When it comes to Android updates, Samsung is leading the Android world. However, this could be the last day of Samsung’s leadership as Google is expected to double up its current Android updates support for Pixel smartphones launching today.
2020 was a remarkable year in Samsung’s history when the company extended Android updates support from two years to three. A few months later, the company extended the security support as well, totaling it to four years for flagship Galaxy devices.

In 2022, Samsung launched the Galaxy S22 series, which offers four generations of OS upgrades. In its announcement, the company listed all flagships launched in 2021 and later along with select Galaxy A series smartphones for 4 OS and 5 years of security patches.
With this decision, the South Korean tech giant surpassed Google’s support policy, which owns Android. To be noted, Tensor-powered Pixel smartphones come with three years of Android and five years of monthly security updates support.
Today, Google will launch the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones. And as per the leaks, both phones will offer up to 7 years of software support, surpassing the longest support provided by Apple to its iPhones. Pixel 8 and later might be eligible for 7 major OS upgrades, which sounds a bit confusing.
There are speculations that there will be five major OS versions and 7 years of regular security patches and quarterly Pixel Feature Drops for the latest flagship smartphones. If it happens, it will force other Android vendors to further extend their support.
While Pixel phones are limited to support 3 major OS versions, Samsung is offering 4 generations of OS upgrades to cheaper Galaxy devices that costs approx $249. Samsung won’t take too long to beat Google yet again in terms of software support.
Let’s see, what Google has to offer to the Android world!
After One UI 5.1, we started hearing a lot of news, leaks, and rumors about the upcoming One UI 6. Recently, Samsung has also started releasing One UI 6.0 support for stock apps, starting with the Calculator app.
Looking at all this, we can expect that Samsung will provide this support to more apps in the future too. But the question is, why is Samsung providing One UI 6.0 support to its stocks apps before the official release? If you are thinking that by getting their support, you will get some new features in your apps, then it is not only the reason.
Samsung One UI 6.0 support can also bring new features for apps, but the main reason for this is something else. But what? The answer is that Samsung is going to release a new One UI update in the coming weeks or months and the company aims to make its stock apps compatible with that accordingly. Once the app is supported, the app will not stop working or get crash whenever the company releases that update for the smartphone.
A recent report revealed that Samsung’s stable Android 14 update will be available in October. This is the same time frame as last year’s UI rollout, with the latest Galaxy S lineup being the first to secure it. Meanwhile, beta activity is seeing an early start if everything goes as planned by the internals.
Still, for the time being, we can consider this information as a pinch of salt as the company has not yet announced any official timeline for One UI 6.0.
Samsung confirms One UI 6 and Good Lock features finding underway
Nowadays, smartphones are being heavily used for gaming and photography. Accordingly, phone makers are focussing more and more on upgrading the imaging capabilities and performance of chipsets. So why not, Samsung should now bring battery upgrade to Galaxy flagships.
Battery upgrade should be the next aim
The recently launched Galaxy S23 Ultra brings a high-profile 200-megapixel camera, allowing users to capture lossless shots, even when cropped. With great collaboration between hardware and software, the new Samsung flagships offer peace of mind to consumers, when it comes to battery life.
In addition to camera lovers, people prefer buying a smartphone, which offers great battery life without compromising features and power specifications. In the same way, Samsung is reportedly working, and there’s still room for improvements in flagships battery life.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra could come with a new battery technology inspired by electronic vehicles. The company is considering stacked battery technology for smartphones, which will reduce the size keeping the same mAh and enhanced lifespan.
Since the stacked battery tech could leave more gap inside the phone, Samsung might not think about increasing mAh on flagship phones. Instead, the company may use an additional vacant area for upgrading other hardware elements and better placement.
The S23 Ultra even defeated the years-old leader iPhone in terms of battery performance, thanks to the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy” processor. Exynos 2400 is reportedly coming to the S24 series in certain markets, which re-creates concern about the phone’s battery life and performance.
That said, Samsung should focus on increasing premium Galaxy phones’ battery life so users can use them longer with a single charge. 45W fast charging is doing quite well, just improvements to battery life would prove as cherry on the cake.
