With years of hands-on testing Samsung flagships, we recommend diving into these settings to personalize your device for peak efficiency and enjoyment.
The Z Flip 3's enlarged cover screen is a standout feature, displaying date and time with a single tap. Double-tap to interact further—swipe right to left for widgets, long-press to edit or remove them, all without unfolding.
Swipe left from the clock to view notifications; tap to expand. Adjust brightness or ringtone patterns directly here too.
Customize the clock face via Settings > Cover screen > Clock style.
Flex Mode splits the screen when folded halfway, optimizing apps for hands-free use. Most apps, like Camera (viewfinder top, controls bottom), support it natively.
Enable for others: Settings > Advanced features > Labs > Flex mode panel.
Tailor settings to your workflow for ultimate convenience.
The side-mounted fingerprint sensor doubles as a gesture shortcut. Enable Finger sensor gestures in Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures, then swipe down on the power button for quick notification access.
Answer incoming calls by simply unfolding—pure satisfaction. In the Phone app, go to Settings > Answering and ending calls and toggle Opening phone to answer.
Remap double-press for your favorite app: Settings > Advanced features > Side key > Double tap > Open app.
Enhance the vibrant display with immersive audio. Toggle Dolby Atmos in Settings > Sounds and vibration > Sound quality and effects, then select Music, Movie, or Voice mode.
Set notifications to Brief pop-up style in Settings > Notifications, then customize Edge lighting style, colors, and transparency.
Balance smoothness and battery: Switch to Standard (60Hz) in Settings > Display > Motion smoothness.
Swipe screen edges for quick access to apps, contacts, and tools. Edit in Settings > Display > Edge panels.
One UI 3.1 adds fun extras like Bixby Routines and customizable call backgrounds for a personalized touch.
