Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 could take AOD idea from iPhone 14 Pro
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 would be bringing a massive cover screen and the latest rumor talks about its Always On Display feature. There are wild rumors that the next clamshell foldable’s AOD could look like the iPhone 14 Pro.
According to tipster @Tech_Reve, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 may feature iPhone 14 Pro-like Always On Display. However, the tipster has not mentioned on which screen Samsung’s next flip-style folding phone could bring iPhone-inspired AOD.
As the outer display is going to be incredibly bigger, the company might utilize it in a striking way, which users will prefer. It’s worth mentioning that Apple’s AOD made for iPhone(s) is based on wallpaper dimming instead of activating a separate UI.
Always On Display is a great feature offered by various Samsung devices including flagship and mid-rangers. When activated, the screen turns entirely black and showcases only numbers and icons using fewer assets from the OS and phone’s hardware.
Apple’s variant of Always On Display dims the Lock Screen while still showing helpful information, like the time, widgets, and wallpaper. The company claims to have made it with the least battery consumption by taking benefit of the latest display technologies.
The tiny cover display of the current flip-style foldable also brings the AOD feature, but it’s not like iPhone 14 Pro. And instead of turning the AOD to wholly dark, the outer screen may be equipped with wallpaper dimming based Always On Display feature.
If the device will have iPhone 14-like AOD, it might also borrow some of its features such as auto-deactivation when the phone is lying face down or inside your pocket or bag. Usually, AOD doesn’t work when your phone has less battery or power saving mode is on.

Apple’s newly released iPhone 15 Pro models evolved controversial over the heating problems. Various users complain that their device gets warm even without heavy usage. Well, Apple has finally decided to acknowledge overheating issues with the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone maker issued a statement via Forbes, as to how it plans to address the problems. Apple has finally acknowledged that the iPhone 15 Pro series is having overheating problems. The company will release a new iOS 17 update for the devices soon.
Apple said the following: “We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity”.
Apple’s statement notes that recent updates to some third-party apps on iOS 17, like Instagram, Asphalt 9, and Uber, overload the A17 Pro chip’s CPU, causing the iPhone to get warmer than normal. The optimization work is underway along with implementing necessary fixes to completely address the problem.

Samsung is returning the Exynos chip, while the next Galaxy S Ultra will solely use the Snapdragon chipset. Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the Galaxy S23 Ultra already surpasses the iPhone 15 Pro Max in graphics tests, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the next gaming king.
In a recent GPU compute test on Geekbench 6, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scored over 15,000 points, 60% higher than the GPU score (9,000 points) of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Since the Galaxy S24 Ultra will boast the 8 Gen 3’s “for Galaxy” variant, the GPU performance will likely be even better.
