The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip isn’t just about the looks — it’s a foldable phone packed with smart, sometimes overlooked features that make it incredibly versatile. Beyond the wow factor of its clamshell design, the Z Flip hides productivity tricks, camera upgrades, and unique gestures you probably haven’t tried yet.

Whether you’re a Z Flip veteran or just joined the foldable revolution, here are 10 hidden features you’ll want to start using today.

1. Flex Mode = Mini Laptop Mode

Bend your Z Flip halfway and watch the interface adapt. Flex Mode splits the screen — controls on the bottom, content on the top. Great for hands-free selfies, video calls, and even YouTube browsing.

2. Take Selfies with the Rear Camera

When closed, double-press the side key to activate the rear camera and preview yourself on the tiny cover screen. You get the quality of the main lens with the convenience of a quick selfie — no screen flip needed.

3. Multi-Window Multitasking

Swipe with two fingers from the side of the screen or tap “Split Screen” in the Recents menu. You can run two apps side by side, adjusting their sizes freely — perfect for productivity or doom-scrolling and texting at the same time.

4. Cover Screen Widgets & Notifications

You don’t need to flip open your phone to stay updated. The Z Flip’s cover screen shows widgets like weather, steps, calendar, music, and even lets you reply to messages — all in a glance.

5. Custom Gestures with Good Lock

Download Good Lock (Samsung’s official customization suite) to unlock advanced features. You can add custom gestures, change animations, and tweak your multitasking layout — all without rooting your phone.

6. Hands-Free Video Recording

Place your Z Flip on a surface in an L-shape and it becomes its own tripod. Ideal for recording TikToks, vlogs, or workout sessions with no additional equipment. It’s your foldable cameraman.

7. App Continuity Between Screens

Start browsing a site on the cover screen and flip open — your content continues seamlessly. You can enable this in Settings > Advanced Features > Continue apps on cover screen.

8. Floating Window for Quick Access

Open an app, then swipe diagonally from the top corner — it’ll pop into a floating window. Resize or move it anywhere. Ideal for calculator, music controls, or chats during work.

9. Edge Panels for Shortcuts

Swipe in from the right edge and access a customizable Edge Panel with apps, contacts, clipboard, or tools. It’s like a mini launcher within your screen.

10. Battery Protection Mode

To preserve your foldable’s longevity, toggle on Protect Battery mode — it caps charging at 85%, reducing long-term battery wear. Find it in Settings > Battery and Device Care > Battery > More Battery Settings.

The Galaxy Z Flip isn't just a futuristic gadget — it’s a thoughtfully engineered powerhouse with tools hidden just beneath the surface. While most people are busy flipping it open and shut for fun (which we totally get), you can unlock its full potential with these under-the-radar features.

And hey — if you’re folding a phone this advanced, it deserves equally well-crafted accessories. Just saying.
