Anyone tried the coverscreen os? It let you access and launch the app on the coverscreen. You can watch YouTube on the cover screen when your phone is closed.

Tried it but still very buggy and it interferes with some of my notifications, some apps don’t display correctly and hard to access. I tried playing my CSR2 and it’s playable but screen is still too small for certain buttons.

In the end I just uninstalled.

I just bought the brand new zflip 3 from shopee, there is one more seal sticker under the other one. Furthermore, there is no plastic wrap on the phone just only the phone itself. The manufacture date on the barcode is 150921.

Is this a 2nd hand phone sold as brand new?

I used to watch YouTube during bedtime, so now I can listen and watch from the cover screen whenever needed. Don't have to open up the phone at all.

Most probably it has been opened before and all new phones HAVE plastic wrap. Better check if serial number and IMEI matches the box and check for physical condition as well.

The cover screen to me is good for notifications and certain features such as music controls, but movie watching is too small, similar for game playing.

The IMEI matches the box. Physical condition is ok.
As you said, it might be opened before and re-sealed back to sell again.

Yes, is too small for movie watching but it is good for me since I like to listen to the YouTube and occasionally see what’s going on.

There’s always a risk if ordering from 3rd party online platforms, that’s why I only buy from Samsung direct.

Yup but until coverscreen OS has stabilised, don’t think I’ll use it for now. The default ones are good enough for my daily usage.

Just read that Samsung is now offering 4 OS updates for the Flip 3 (prolly Fold 3 as well), and 5 years of security patches. I think that makes OS updates up to Android 15, and security patches up to 2026.
