Gemini Arrives on Galaxy Z Flip 5 and 6 Cover Screens

Access comes with One UI 8, requiring voice or a Good Lock widget to invoke Gemini.

Overview

  • Users can run voice and text queries on the cover display, with Gemini Live and camera feed sharing supported.
  • Screen sharing is not available on the cover screen, leaving feature parity incomplete compared with newer models.
  • Long-pressing the power button does not launch Gemini on the cover display and instead prompts users to open the phone.
  • Workarounds include saying “Hey Google” or placing the Gemini app in the Good Lock launcher widget on the cover screen.
  • The expansion follows earlier support on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and 7 FE and coincides with Samsung’s One UI 8 rollout, which is beginning to reach Flip 5 units in more regions.
