Galaxy Z Flip 7 lets you access AI features from the cover screen

One of the biggest upgrades that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 brings over its predecessor is its bigger cover screen. It is not only bigger but also brighter (2,600 nits) and smoother (120Hz). It also lets you access more information, such as more widgets in a single view. It also allows you to access AI features without opening the phone.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a 4.1-inch cover display with the thinnest bezels on any flip-style foldable phone. As a result, it offers the biggest screen real estate, allowing it to display AI-powered features like Now Brief, Gemini, and Gemini Live. Now Brief can display your day's and week's highlights, such as your daily/weekly steps, memories from that day or week, and stats from your recent exercise via Samsung Health.

You can long press the phone's side button to summon Google's Gemini. You can ask it questions, get information from the web, know your schedule for the day, play music, save notes to Samsung Notes, create reminders in Samsung Reminder, set alarms in Samsung Clock, and a lot more.

Thanks to its bigger cover screen, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 also lets you access Gemini Live to share your screen or the live feed from the phone's camera to ask questions about things visible on the screen so that you can get answers or suggestions related to those things. For example, you can set the phone in Flex Mode and start Gemini Live to get styling suggestions for your clothes and the current weather.

In comparison, when you access Gemini on the Galaxy Z Flip 6's cover screen, it asks you to open the phone to use the AI assistant.
