The Galaxy Z Flip 5 could feature a larger cover screen and an updated hinge
The larger cover screen could address one of the biggest shortcomings of the flip phone
Although Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4 brought several improvements over its predecessor, it did not address one of the biggest issues users had with the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The smartphone still features a tiny, mostly unusable cover screen, which means you still have to flip the phone open every time you want to do anything substantial. While you can get around this limitation by using third-party apps like CoverScreen OS, the tiny footprint of the cover screen makes the experience feel rather underwhelming. That might not be the case with the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip 5 if a recent leak is to be believed.
