As we get closer to the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, details have started surfacing more regularly. In February, we learned that the cover display will be much larger than the one found on the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Now, rumors seem to suggest that the new foldable will be the first of its kind sporting two discrete cover displays.
According to renders shared in a recent video by mobile insider SuperRoader, the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s dual cover screens will greatly differentiate the foldable from the rest of its kind. The two screens are vastly different in size, and seem to serve two distinct functions.
The smaller screen that’s in line with the Flip 5’s two cameras (that have been flipped 90 degrees compared to the Flip 4) seems to function as something of a notification center. In the renders, the small screen has the time, the date, the phone’s battery life, and a handful of AR emojis on display to free up space on the larger screen.
While only used to display photo backgrounds in the leaked renders, the large screen will likely be used as a way to interact with the phone as normal without needing to fully unfold it. Because the essential information seems to be relegated to the smaller screen, the larger cover screen will have plenty of space for additional things — such as completing other tasks, as well as additional widgets. This news also comes as leaker Ice Universe claims that the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s cover screen will be 3.4 inches and “occupy most of the area” of the front of the phone.
With the drastic size increase compared to the Z Flip 4, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 might feel completely different to use since it won’t be as limited in the same ways as its predecessor is with its smaller cover screen. In fact, it almost feels as though the functions of the cover screen from the Flip 4 might be translated to the smaller cover screen on the Flip 5 — making the upcoming foldable a notable step up in terms of functionality.
If the leaked information is true, then the Galaxy Z Flip 5 seems like it might be shaping up to be one of the most impressive foldable devices coming to the market in 2023. Hopefully, it’s able to stick the landing when the information is officially confirmed.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
