The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 could get an upsize
One of the biggest changes Samsung made to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 was bumping the size of the external display. It went from a paltry 1.9-inches in the Flip 4 to a considerably larger 3.4-inches in the Flip 5. Now the latest rumors are claiming that Samsung could increase the display yet again in the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
This is according to a post by @TheGalox_ on X where they claim that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could see its cover display increased to 3.9-inches. That’s basically half an inch larger than its predecessor. While it’s easy to get excited about this, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

This is because earlier leaked renders of the Flip 6 revealed that the 3.4-inch cover display will remain. Secondly, handset makers don’t usually refresh their designs in such a major way every year. It costs money to make molds for phones and to create the tooling needed to make them. This is why generally handset designs tend to stay the same or see very minor changes for a couple of years at the very least.
This isn’t to say that this is entirely improbable. Samsung could surprise us all with a larger cover screen for the Flip 6, but don’t get your hopes up. Other rumors we’ve heard about the Galaxy Z Flip 6 include a potential larger battery, along with the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
