Samsung is reportedly working on a new idea for its future Galaxy Z Flip phones. A new patent suggests that the company could be testing a design with two displays on the front of the phone. This is different from current Galaxy Z Flip models, which only have one cover screen.

A new foldable phone patent spotted by 91Mobiles reveals that the phone could have a circular display on the front. Around this circular screen, there is another larger display that wraps around it. This bigger display would cover the top half of the phone when it is folded. With this design, users may be able to see more information or use more features without opening the phone.

The circular display in the patent looks similar to the outer screen seen on the Huawei P50 Pocket. That phone also has a round display on the outside. However, the Huawei device only has one small screen, while Samsung’s patent shows two displays on the front. This makes Samsung’s design look a bit more unique.

Right now, it is not clear how useful the second display would be. Current Galaxy Z Flip phones already have a cover screen that can show notifications, time, weather, and even work as a camera viewfinder. Because of this, adding another screen may not be very necessary and could also use more battery.

It is also important to remember that many companies file patents to protect their ideas and technology. Not all patents become real products. 

Meanwhile, Samsung is working to launch its next foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 8, later this year. The launch is expected to happen around July, and this device could debut with One UI 9. Stay tuned for more information.
