Flex Mode is a feature available on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that utilizes the device's foldable hinge mechanism to enable split-screen functionality when the device is partially folded, typically between 75 and 115 degrees.[11][12]
In this configuration, supported applications display content on the upper half of the screen, while interactive controls appear on the lower half. For example, in apps such asYouTube,Samsung Notes, and video conferencing platforms, users can view content or calls on the top screen while accessing playback tools, editing options, or a virtual touchpad below.
