Samsung’s next clamshell foldable may place much more emphasis on what users can do without unfolding it. The Galaxy Z Flip8 is rumored to feature a 4.1-inch cover screen capable of running more apps without additional setup through Good Lock.
That could allow users to reply to messages, open navigation, use the camera, and access selected apps while the device remains closed. The feature may become a significant distinction for the successor to the Galaxy Z Flip7.
Samsung has not confirmed the device or its specifications. The information currently available remains based on leaks, including a reported European retailer listing.
