Take a look at the tips below to learn more about how the Galaxy Z Flip can help you take your everyday photography to the next level.

Capture From Each and Every Angle : Flex mode

Ever wanted to stage a solo photoshoot with your pet but struggle to capture shots hands-free without a tripod or other camera accessories? With the Galaxy Z Flip, all you need is your smartphone.

In order to easily snap adorable shots of you and your favorite companion, you can harness the Z Flip’s  folding mechanism and Flex mode to easily capture shots on a timer without the need for any accessories. Designed specifically for the Z Flip’s distinctive form factor, Flex mode splits the display evenly into two 4-inch screens when your device is freestanding so that you don’t have to compromise when capturing.

If your furry friend is being particularly unruly, all you need to do is open up your phone, select a timer setting and settle yourself down so that you can turn your attention to your beloved pet as you shoot.

Snap the Star of the Show on Your Terms : Live Focus

It goes without saying that when we’re taking pictures of our pets, they deserve to be front and center in each and every shot. Thanks to Live Focus on the Galaxy Z Flip, you can adjust the level of background blur as you capture. Taking a picture of your dog but notice the background is messier than desired? With Live Focus, you can ensure the focus is on the foreground in order to capture the perfect, mess-free picture.

Of course, the same logic of wanting our pets to stand out applies when taking selfies, too. Live Focus is available on both the main and front camera of the Galaxy Z Flip so that whether you’re looking to snap a quick selfie in your bedroom or record a quick video relaying a message to loved ones, you can ensure that you’re the focus of attention each and every time.

Record Simple Moments of Joy Seamlessly : Quick Selfie

Taking selfies with your friends – furry or otherwise! – is a great way to capture those special, everyday moments. Say you’re sharing a hilarious story with friends and want to quickly capture that moment of happiness on both faces for later – the Galaxy Z Flip has a special feature that lets you snap a picture without unfolding your device: Quick Selfie.

By simply double clicking the power button on the right hand side of the Galaxy Z Flip while it’s closed, you can open up the camera, check out your shot in the cover display and then either click the volume button or show your palm to the front camera in order to take the shot. With Quick Selfie, those simple moments of joy don’t have to remain just a memory.

Make the Most of Every Moment : Single Take

Our pets are unpredictable creatures – sometimes the most special, record-worthy things happen at the randomest of times. Luckily enough, the ultra-portable Galaxy Z Flip has a special feature to help you capture them as they happen without having to think twice about which mode to use.

The AI-powered Single Take feature provides you with a range of photo, video and even ‘meme’able mode choices based on just one shot of up to 15 seconds long. Say your dog is performing a cute trick; all you have to do is select Single Take, aim the camera and click record – Single Take does the rest.

Once the moment is over, you can head to the Gallery to check out your dog’s antics in all kinds of different modes and filters – Single Take will even recommend the best cuts to you based on the subject and background.

Curate & Capture More Easily : Dual Preview

Not only do the Galaxy Z Flip’s innovative form factor and camera help make taking photos a seamless experience, but several new device UI updates also make your photography experience as intuitive and as convenient as possible.

Bottom Preview mode lets you flip the ordering of the preview and camera control displays between the top and the bottom screens as you wish. Next time you’re trying to wrangle your furry friends into behaving as you snap a picture, you can simply double-tap the screen to enable Bottom Preview mode to bring the camera control down to the bottom screen, allowing you to hold the phone and capture shots with one hand and leaving the other hand free to control your pets.

The software update also includes Dual Preview, which showcases the camera preview screen on both the main display and the front cover display of the Galaxy Z Flip simultaneously. Trying to take a picture of a curious child who won’t look at the camera? Enable Dual Preview to engage their attention to the Z Flip’s front display and capture pictures with ease.

With its flexible camera and unique UI, the Galaxy Z Flip makes the perfect companion for documenting your daily life. Why not try it out with this holiday season?

From improved productivity capabilities to unique camera experiences, the latest update¹ promises to take the Galaxy Fold to the next level. Here’s everything you need to know about the update.

Power Up Your Productivity

Whether you are multitasking or working on the go, the latest update helps you get things done faster with the Galaxy Fold.

Instead of spending time finding the apps you need, App Pair lets you launch up to three of your favorite apps together in your preferred split screen layout.

This feature can be accessed via the Edge Panel, which combines the Multi-Window Tray with Edge Panel for improved convenience. All you need to do is swipe the side of the screen² to see up to 22 of your favorite apps. The arrangement of the Multi-Active Window layout can now also be done horizontally, giving you more flexibility for multitasking.

If you need more screen space to work with, the updated Samsung DeX lets you easily connect the Galaxy Fold to a Smart TV wirelessly.³ All you need to do is tap on the Samsung DeX icon in the quick panel.

Once the two devices are connected, you can customize the second screen to suit your needs with screen zoom and various font size options. You can even use the Galaxy Fold as a touch pad to control the second display with multi-finger gestures.

Maximum Flexibility for Your Shoots

The Galaxy Fold’s unique form factor is designed to help you capture photos and videos exactly the way you want. The latest update brings even more flexibility to this innovative camera experience.

Shooting with Auto framing is like having a dedicated cameraman always by your side. Depending on how many people are in front of the camera, the feature automatically zooms in or out to ensure the Galaxy Fold captures everything. It can even track motion to keep the subject centrally framed.

Capture View Mode gives you the option to check your shots as you shoot. It shows you up to five of the latest photos or videos on the left side of the Main Screen, while giving you a preview of your next shot on the other half.

Dual Preview enhances collaboration between the subject and the photographer by showing a preview of the image on both the Cover and Main Screen of the Galaxy Fold. This feature also works with video and can be activated in Pro Video mode.

The latest update lets you maximize the power of the Galaxy Fold’s rear camera, even when you are taking selfies. Simply open the Camera app on the Cover Screen and activate Rear Cam Selfie. This feature allows you to use the high-resolution rear camera and its wide range of advanced functions for selfies.

Pro Video Mode on the Galaxy Fold now comes with more shooting (21:9 ratio and 24fps video) and assistant functions (histogram, focus peaking), while Single Take lets you capture up to 15 seconds of content to deliver a selection of best moments in photos and video.

Stay Seamlessly Connected

Forget about repeating long, complicated Wi-Fi passwords to your friends and family. With the Galaxy Fold, you can now directly share the password of the Wi-Fi you are connected to trusted Galaxy devices that are near you.

The updated Wi-Fi feature can also show you the speed of nearby connections (Very Fast, Fast, Normal Slow) to help you easily find one that’s suitable.

¹ Specific launch date and available features may vary by market and region.

² The Edge Panel is placed on the right side of the screen by default but can be changed to the opposite side in Settings.

³ Samsung DeX wireless connection is available on smart TVs that support Phone Screen mirroring only. (For the optimal experience, use on Samsung Smart TVs launched 2019 or later.)
