Presently, Samsung Galaxy Flip phone users can access any application on the cover display through the Good Lock functionality. However, a more native solution is expected to run more smoothly and be better optimised for the smaller display. This native support for additional apps will likely be extended to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, as it features a similar 3.4-inch cover display.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: What’s new

AI-powered Flex Window

Samsung has enhanced the 3.4-inch super AMOLED cover display, termed the Flex Window, to support AI-powered features without requiring the device to be flipped open. The Flex Window on the Flip 6 will offer AI-suggested responses to messages, Samsung Health updates, and additional functionalities. Multiple new widget options have also been added to the cover display.

Camera enhancements

For using the camera through the cover screen, Samsung has introduced a new “Auto Zoom” feature. This feature allows users to click pictures using the Flex Window, where the FlexCam automatically detects the subject, adjusts framing, and zooms in or out accordingly. Samsung has also collaborated with third-party social media apps, such as Instagram, to integrate its Nightography feature for low-light photography within in-app cameras.

The enhancements and additional app support on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 are indicative of Samsung’s efforts to improve user experience and functionality on its foldable devices.
