Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have Apple-like Always-on-Display
Always-on-Display (AOD) is one of the very beneficial and trendy technology. Apple and Samsung, both market-leading companies, adopted this technology in their respective iPhone and Galaxy device Displays. However, as always, Apple does things in its own different and advanced way; the same goes for Always-on-Display. This time, Samsung also tends to use Apple’s this technology in its upcoming Galaxy Z foldable devices.
Let us tell you how Apple’s AOD is different from the one Samsung has. Notably, Apple owns Always-on-Display, which lets us set up images, GIFs, and Full-screen photos on the lock screen wallpaper, that will be on all the time while the device is locked, as its name suggests. Besides, Samsung’s AOD won’t allow us to set GIFs or fullscreen images; instead, it just shows a small window through its “Image Clock” option.
Now, the Korean firm Samsung is also willing to add Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro-like option to its Galaxy devices’ AOD so that Galaxy users can also set fullscreen images and GIFs on their devices’ lock screen. As per the popular tipster Revegnus, Samsung will take the first step in that way by adding this iPhone 14 Pro-like full-screen AOD option to its soon-to-be-launched Galaxy Z Flip 5 device, which will be launched this July or August.
However, it is currently unknown whether the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 device will get this new fullscreen AOD feature or not. It is possible that this feature may reach some other premium Galaxy devices through the upcoming One UI 6 update, but there is no official confirmation for this. It will be interesting to see how Samsung makes this new feature different and better than Apple’s.

Samsung has kept the same battery capacity for the flagship devices while also sticking to the same fast charging speed. If we look at the Galaxy S Ultra devices from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company has stuck with 45 W charging and the same 5000 mAh battery. According to the latest report, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may also use the same battery and specifications.
Previous, it was rumored that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be equipped with stacked battery technology, which could lead to maximizing the component cost, but now, according to an X user named Sawyer Galox, it is reported that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component cost.
Along with this, the tipster also expressed his disappointment with Samsung’s take on the unchained hardware. He adds that users who want to buy the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra should keep their expectations low with the battery performance, as Samsung will keep the specs the same with the 500mAh battery and the 45W.
However, the company will also introduce its latest device with new chipsets that may provide improved optimization, which may provide some long-lasting battery life, but it will not provide any improvement in charging.
Samsung is preparing to introduce its next-generation foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, given that the new smartphones in the Z lineup typically launch between July and August, some rumors suggest that the company might host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. Despite the date being more than three months away, numerous details have surfaced online.
According to recent reports, Samsung plans to implement its dual chipset strategy for the foldable, mirroring the Galaxy S series lineup, where some models of the Galaxy S base and Galaxy S+ devices feature Snapdragon, while in other markets, they feature Exynos.
The next foldable lineup rumoured to come with multiple chipsets; for example, the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s last Geekbench listing showed that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, this processor is already one year old, so there are fewer expectations that it could be available in the main models. However, if a rumor proves to be accurate, it could potentially be available for the FE variant of the devices.
For your information, the rumors have revealed that Samsung could introduce two new versions of the foldable devices with the brand names ‘FE’ and ‘Ultra‘, so to make the difference, it may introduce them in separate chipsets. If it provides the older chipset for the FE version, then it will be successful in cost-cutting and releasing the device at a low cost.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
