Notifications, widgets, music controls and suggested replies work without opening the phone; the actual viewable area is about 95% because of the corners and the lower cutout.

Chip—Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy; vapor chamber cooling

The vapor chamber spreads heat from the chip over a wider area to delay throttling in long gaming and recording sessions; it is a first for the Z Flip line.

With the phone closed the rear cameras can also take selfies, using the cover screen as a viewfinder.
