The awaited Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 goes official at the Unpacked event this month. Alongside so many upgrades, a part of the attraction of the device is what you can do with the phone half-open in flex mode. But thanks to its 1.9-inch OLED cover screen, you can also do a lot when it is closed/folded.
The cover screen of the new clamshell lets you read notifications, check the weather, set a timer, control your smart home, and perform some other tasks without even unfolding the phone. Meanwhile, the rear screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now getting CoverScreen OS support which brings a lot more new features.
