Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 might not feature a Super AMOLED cover display. Recently, tipster Evan Blass leaked the entire official launch page of both upcoming Samsung foldables. It has been spotted that the Z Flip 6 might have a massive display downgrade.

The company is reportedly raising its upcoming foldable phones’ price. Despite this, it seems like the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could ditch a Super AMOLED cover display. The specs sheet says that the smartphone’s sub-display (cover/outer) is IPS technology, not Super AMOLED.

I’ve revisited Samsung’s specs page for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and found Super AMOLED mentioned for both panels. It means, the cover screen of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 might be an IPS panel, resulting in multiple disadvantages apart from quality degrades.

The lack of an AMOLED screen means no always-on-display functionality. As LCD and IPS displays always use energy, they don’t support the AOD feature. If the IPS panel is used in the next Flip, Samsung may have tweaked the software to bring an AOD-like feature.

The display leak suggests that the Z Flip 6 sports a 3.4-inch cover display. It’s the same size as the panel used in the previous Flip phone, with pixel resolution and the number of colors is also unchanged. Meanwhile, the main display still adopts the Super AMOLED technology.

Dust resistance is coming

The leaked material also confirmed that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 feature dust resistance. After water resistance, dust resistance arrives in the Samsung foldable lineup. The company has been working for a long time to bring this meaningful upgrade.
