Choosing the ideal cover screen background for your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
As the hardware of foldable phones has evolved over the years, Samsung’s One UI OS has kept up the pace, making the most out of what’s available. The cover displays on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip devices go the extra mile when it comes to aesthetics and functionality. You can add multiple panels filled with widgets on the cover screen. These widgets take care of all the essential tasks and keep you from opening the phone for every minor task.
When it comes to aesthetics, users have a lot of customisation options for the Galaxy Z Flip’s cover screen. You can choose a background from Samsung’s native library or select a photo from your phone’s gallery. If you’re willing to sacrifice some battery life, you can even put up a video or a GIF as your cover screen background.
But that’s not it. With Galaxy AI, you can generate new and unique cover screen backgrounds by entering novel prompts. These backgrounds match the aspect ratio of the small display. Photo ambient wallpaper, which was introduced earlier this year on the Galaxy S25 series, is available for the Galaxy Z Flip’s lockscreen as well.
