Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5<\/a> \u2014 the South Korean conglomerate’s upcoming clamshell foldable phone \u2014 could feature support for Google Maps on the cover display. Last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 4<\/a> smartphone had a much smaller 1.9-inch outer display, while the handset expected to launch next month is said to sport a 3.4-inch screen shaped like a folder. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will reportedly debut at the company’s next Galaxy Unpacked event in July, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Tab S9 series, Galaxy Watch 6 series, and Galaxy Buds 3.<\/p>\n Last week, it was reported that Samsung would introduce support for optimised versions of Google’s apps on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 cover display. The list of apps included Google Messages<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, and Google Maps<\/a>. Now, a tipster (Twitter:\u00a0@chunvn8888)\u00a0has reiterated<\/a> the claim that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will feature support for Google Maps on the smartphone when it is folded.<\/p>\n Samsung’s rivals Oppo, Motorola, and Vivo have all introduced smartphones with large outer displays that will compete with the upcoming handset. However, among these smartphones, only the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra<\/a> \u2014 that will launch in India on July 3<\/a>, following the global debut<\/a> of the foldable phone \u2014 can show Google Maps and other optimised versions of apps on its cover screen. The Oppo Find N2 Flip<\/a>, on the other hand, can show widgets from specific apps on the lock screen that offers limited functionality.<\/p>\n Images of the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 were leaked by\u00a0tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (Twitter: @OnLeaks) last month, and the pictures show the clamshell foldable phone sporting a much larger cover display. It is said to measure 3.4 inches, which means it will be considerably larger than the Oppo Find N2 Flip, but smaller than the 3.6-inch display on the recently launched Motorola Razr 40 Ultra.<\/p>\n The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to launch next month at the company’s next Galaxy Unpacked<\/a> event. The smartphone maker is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 5, as well as the Galaxy Watch 6 series, Galaxy Tab S9 series, and the Galaxy Buds 3. While Samsung has confirmed the next Unpacked event will take place in July, it is yet to announce a specific date or reveal which devices it plans to introduce at the event.<\/p>\n
