When theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 6andSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 6show up, they’re going to bring with them some significant changes in the display department, according to the latest rumors we’ve heard about these foldable phones.
According to well-known tipsterNaver(viaGSMArena), both the inner and outer screens on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 are going to change in terms of their aspect ratio. No other details are given, except that the design will also be adopted by theSamsungGalaxy S25.
The outer screen on theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5is a rather narrow 23.1:9, but the speculation is that this could get wider in the future – perhaps towards the 19.5:9 of theSamsung Galaxy S23flagship launched earlier this year.
As for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, the same source says this phone is set to get another cover screen size boost, and narrower bezels too, compared to theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 5– that phone sports a 3.4-inch cover screen, up from 1.9 inches the year before.
Positive changes
These are changes that make a lot of sense: it means that the Z Fold 6 will be more like a normal phone in terms of its dimensions when it’s closed, and of course a larger cover screen on the Z Flip 6 will make it even easier to use when it’s snapped shut.
While nothing is certain until these foldables are launched, there have beenprevious rumorsalong the same lines – oneearlier leakaround the Z Flip 6 mentioned the cover screen expanding to a size of 3.9 inches, corner to corner.
Faster processors are to be expected as well, though we’vebeen hearingthat the camera setup in the Z Fold 6 might not change too much from the Z Fold 5. It’s one of the areas where the handset does lag behind the competition.
