Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series has evolved its cover display significantly over generations. The original Z Flip featured a minimal display for notifications, while the Z Flip3 and Z Flip4 introduced a two-line text capability. The Z Flip5 and Z Flip6 expanded this to a 3.4” screen. Anticipated changes in the upcoming Z Flip7 include a larger 4” edge-to-edge cover display with minimal bezels and a 6.85” inner screen. It will also have a slight battery increase and retain a 25W charging capacity. The Z Flip7 aims to enhance both its design and functionality significantly.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series has seen significant upgrades over time, especially regarding its cover display. The original Z Flip featured a very small screen, just sufficient for a handful of notification icons. The Z Flip3, which is the second generation, improved this to accommodate two lines of text, a change mirrored in the Z Flip4 as well. With the Z Flip5 and Z Flip6, the display size increased to a more functional 3.4” – large enough for app usage, but still sporting substantial bezels.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is anticipated to introduce the next – and possibly final – evolution to an edge-to-edge display. Below are some images discovered from a leaked One UI 8 firmware by Android Authority:

According to leaks, the new cover display will measure 4”, with minimal unused space taken up by the dual camera lenses and LED flash.
The Galaxy Z Flip7 is rumored to have a larger 6.85” main display, up from the 6.7” on the Z Flip6. Reports suggest that the Z Flip7 will measure 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9mm when open, making it wider than the Z Flip6, which is 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm. This change, along with significantly thinner side bezels, promises a substantial upgrade for the cover display. Meanwhile, the Z Fold7 is expected to be remarkably slim, decreasing from 5.6mm to 3.9mm when unfolded.
The Z Flip7 is anticipated to see a slight increase in battery capacity by 300mAh (with charging remaining at 25W), and the camera setup should consist of the same 50MP wide and 12MP ultra-wide combination as before.
