Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 could offer always-on display feature similar to iPhone 14 Pro: Details

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to go official in July. As we get closer to the alleged launch, more details about the foldable smartphone are surfacing online. Samsung is likely to deliver substantial upgrades to the Galaxy Flip 5 to challenge Apple’s dominance in the smartphone space. The always-on display (AOD) feature currently available on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to come to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 this year. With AOD, the handset can dim the lock screen while showing the time, widgets, and wallpaper.

Known tipster Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) on Twitter suggests that Galaxy Z Flip 5 will come with iPhone 14 Pro-like AOD functionality. With this, users of the foldable phone could customize the display of their handsets to some extent.

Apple brought its always-on display feature to iPhone with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max last year. The feature can work with a refresh rate as low as 1Hz with a new low power mode. Once the user locks the handset or leaves it idle, the feature dims the entire lock screen wallpaper, while displaying the date, clock, or any other widget. AOD also allows users to hide wallpaper and disable notifications.

A recent 3C listing indicated 25W wired charging support in the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It is expected to debut in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options and beige color options, grey, light green and light pink. It could run on One UI 5.1.1 based on Android 13 and would be powered by a custom Qualcomm Snapdragon for Galaxy SoC, coupled with at least 8GB of RAM. It is said to feature a 3.8-inch cover screen.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is designed to sport a dual rear camera with a 12-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle shooter.
