The fifth generation Samsung Galaxy Flip 5 phone has a big 3.4-inches cover display. In the previous model, it was only 1.9 inches. Though the Galaxy Flip 5 has a big cover display, it supports only a few apps, such as the Camera, Messages, Google Maps, etc. But, there is a workaround to run almost any app on the cover display of Galaxy Flip 5.
Since the Galaxy Flip 5 outer display is big enough (3.4 inches) to show most of the content, running your favorite apps on it will be very convenient as you will not need to open the flip phone to access the app. With the help of Samsung Good Lock, you can use the full potential of your Samsung Galaxy Flip 5 phone cover screen.
