    Samsung finally improved the hinge on its recent foldable phones, removing the gap when they're fully closed. However, both phones are still criticized for having a noticeable crease on their foldable screens. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is also criticized for having a very narrow cover screen, but that might change next year.

    Galaxy Z Flip 6 to feature bigger cover screen, while Galaxy Z Fold 6 could have wider cover screen

    According to a new report, Samsung's next-generation foldable phones will have bigger screens. Reliable industry insider Ross Young claims that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will have even bigger cover screen, at 3.9 inches. That's almost as big as the screen on the iPhone 5s. It is 0.5 inches bigger diagonally than the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The new flip phone is also said to feature a 50MP primary camera. A previous report also claimed that Samsung is changing the aspect ratio of the screens on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

    So, it looks like Samsung is finally listening to user feedback and bringing a cover screen for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that isn't too narrow for typing or other day-to-day tasks. In comparison, all other foldable phones from rival firms have screens that have an aspect ratio closer to conventional slab-style smartphones.

    Even the inner foldable screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 could sometimes feel too tall, and a change to its aspect ratio would also be appreciated. It was also reported in the past that Samsung is reverse-engineering a Huawei Mate X5 to check how the company managed to slim down the phone while increasing the battery capacity and equipping the phone with much better camera hardware and even satellite connectivity.
