Over the years, Samsung<\/a> has made slight design changes to its Galaxy Z Flip series. The first-gen model came with a tiny display, and subsequent generations saw Samsung increase it in size. But now, a recently discovered patent<\/a> has revealed that Samsung is exploring the idea of \u200b\u200bputting two displays on the cover of a future Galaxy Z Flip model.<\/p>\n

Future Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phone could sport two displays<\/p>\n

In the patent discovered by 91mobiles<\/a>, Samsung could be looking to include two displays on the front of the Galaxy Z Flip. As you can see in the patent diagram, one display features a circular cutout, while the other display wraps around it, covering the top half of the phone.<\/p>\n

If this looks familiar, it\u2019s because the Huawei P50 Pocket<\/a> also featured a circular cutout display on the front of the phone. The main difference is that it didn\u2019t have a second display. But otherwise, we think this patent is rather reminiscent of Huawei\u2019s own flip foldable phone.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not sure what the point of the second smaller display is. The front display is already big enough to act as a viewfinder for the camera. It can also display notifications and run apps. Having a second display just feels like a battery drain and is a bit unnecessary.<\/p>\n

That being said, it\u2019s no use getting so worked up over it. Companies file patents all the time. Most of the time it\u2019s to protect intellectual property, and not necessarily about creating a product they plan to commercialize. This isn\u2019t to say it won\u2019t happen but maybe don\u2019t hold your breath.<\/p>\n

What can we expect in future Galaxy Z Flip phones?<\/p>\n

Samsung has been hard at work launching new foldables each year. This year, Samsung officially brought the Galaxy Z TriFold to the US<\/a>. Later this year, we expect the company to refresh its Fold and Flip series.<\/p>\n

This includes the Galaxy Z Flip 8, which is the successor to last year\u2019s Flip 7 model<\/a>. So far, the rumors claim that the Flip 8 could be thinner than last year\u2019s model. It is also rumored to be powered by Samsung\u2019s upcoming Exynos 2600 chipset. However, don\u2019t expect too much from the camera.<\/p>\n

According to the latest rumors, Samsung could keep the same camera config found in the Flip 7. It\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing, but we would have liked to see an improvement. Samsung doesn\u2019t have a launch date yet, but rumors are pointing towards a possible July announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the years, Samsung has made slight design changes to its Galaxy Z Flip series.
