Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE gets Flip 7’s cover screen features, but what about Flip 6?
TL;DR
- Samsung has confirmed that the Now Bar, Now Brief, Gemini, and Gemini Live will be available on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE’s cover screen.
- These features are also available on the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s larger cover display.
- Furthermore, the company told us that these features would be coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 as part of the One UI 8 update.
Samsung has just launched its new foldable phones, including the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the slightly cheaper Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. The former phone has several notable cover screen features, but the FE model is also getting in on the action.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 allows you to use the Now Bar, Now Brief, Gemini, and Gemini Live on the cover screen. However, Samsung has confirmed that these same features are available on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE’s cover screen.
You won’t have to buy a new Galaxy Z Flip phone if you want these features, either. The company told us they’d also be available on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 as part of the One UI 8 upgrade.
This news also comes as Samsung overhauls the cover display on its new Flip phones. The phones now let you add any Android widget to the cover screen, as opposed to only allowing a small selection of full-screen panels. We hope this feature comes to older Flip devices as well.

Melds Galaxy AI with the new edge-to-edge FlexWindow
With a 6.9-inch main display and a 4.1-inch FlexWindow outer display, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 focuses on putting AI smarts in your pocket. Measuring just 13.74mm thick when folded, it’s the slimmest Z Flip phone yet. Packed with a 50MP camera and a suite of AI tools, Samsung calls the Z Flip 7 a “pocket-sized selfie studio.”
