26 April 2023
The cover screen on the Z Flip5 is rumored to come in at over 3 inches.

Anonymous, 26 Apr 2023I actually wish more companies went back to physical scanne... moreIt's other way around for me, side ones or back ones were horrible and it always took 2 or 3 try to unlock it. While with UD ones, it's more precise.

    this looks really quite fake. here's why I believe that
    -wheres the camera flash?
    -distabce between the top bezel and camera, and side bezel and camera are not equal like Samsung usually does
    -corners on the display are wayyy sharper than Samsung likes to make the corners on their flip series.
    it will probably look something like this, but this mockup is quite clearly not official

      PowerUP, 26 Apr 2023Or they could put a UD scanner on the cover display because... moreI actually wish more companies went back to physical scanners, or give proper face unlock like iPhone and some Honor phones.

      Me and a lot of people have issues with UD scanners, because they are (due to logical reasons) less precise and for some people that ends up in unlock fails, no matter how often you rescan the fingers and even without any screen protection.

      Never had such issues with physical scanners, same with people I know that have same issues as I with under display ones.

        you have to suffer, 26 Apr 2023in display scanners on cover display would be more complex.... moreAgreed

          PowerUP, 26 Apr 2023Or they could put a UD scanner on the cover display because... morein display scanners on cover display would be more complex. and requires more skill to put them together. internal display would be great on flip form.

            you have to suffer, 26 Apr 2023that folder shape cover screen 🤔 are they gonna implement ... moreOr they could put a UD scanner on the cover display because that would be more natural of a position.

              you have to suffer, 26 Apr 2023that folder shape cover screen 🤔 are they gonna implement ... moreCapacitive scanners are gold standard, fast and reliable. Considering the fragile nature of folding screens they should stay away from optical scanners. Implementing it on cover screen is just waste of space I guess.

                  The approach looks similar to the razr+. Software adaptation will be key...

                    that folder shape cover screen 🤔
                    are they gonna implement under display fp sensor for this model also? or maybe they'll stay with side mounted capacitive fp sensor.

                      That's great news but I hope they implement the software in a better way unlike Oppo.
