These phones offer large cover screens, and the software has been upgraded to take advantage of this.<\/p>\n<p>We can confirm that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE no longer use the full-screen panels seen on the cover screen of previous Galaxy Z Flip models. Instead, you can add widgets from the foldable display\u2019s home screen to the cover display. Check out our screenshots below.<\/p>\n<p>You can add up to four 1\u00d71 widgets on a cover display home screen, although you can also choose a 2\u00d71 widget size. It\u2019s unclear if you can add a single 2\u00d72 widget to the cover display. Either way, this is a welcome improvement over the previous full-screen panels.<\/p>\n<p>This change should also greatly increase widget choice, as you can now add standard Android widgets to the cover display. So you aren\u2019t limited to Samsung\u2019s small selection of widgets, nor do you have to resort to third-party apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/CoverWidgets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CoverDisplay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you don\u2019t have to buy a new Galaxy Z Flip model if you want this more versatile approach to cover display widgets. Our fingers are crossed that this widget system comes to older phones as part of the One UI 8 update. Unfortunately, you still have to use Good Lock to run any app on the cover display. That\u2019s a shame, but I\u2019m nevertheless glad to see Samsung making the cover display more flexible.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"deal-large-6650\" class=\"e_l\">Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7<\/a><img class=\"e_ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752075370_871_custom_filename.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7<\/p>\n<p>Largest ever Flex Window  \u2022  6.9-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X folding screen  \u2022  7 years of updates<\/p>\n<p>Melds Galaxy AI with the new edge-to-edge FlexWindow<\/p>\n<p>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.
