What’s more, the cover screen (or, in Samsung parlance, Flex Window) on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has gotten more functional, with the ability to house multiple apps and widgets for quick usage without having to flip open the phone.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phones are pocket-friendly devices, with relatively diminutive batteries to match. However, their batteries have steadily increased in size with each generation, and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 sported a 3,700 mAh one.
