CoverScreen OS is a piece of software that attempts to turn the Oppo Find N2 Flip\u2019s small 3.26-inch cover display into a \u201cfully functional mini phone.<\/a>\u201d Crucially, this means being able to access the app drawer and launch \u201calmost any app\u201d on the cover screen, massively increasing the amount you can do on the foldable flip phone without having to open it up. The software is downloadable from the Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CoverScreen OS has been available for awhile for the Samsung Z Flip 3 and 4. In fact, my colleague Allison tried it out on the Z Flip 4 last August<\/a>. But while the app\u2019s usefulness was limited on Samsung\u2019s tiny 1.9-inch cover display, the Find N2 Flip\u2019s portrait-oriented 3.26-inch, 720 x 382 cover display feels like it has a lot more potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When I reviewed the Find N2 Flip<\/a> last month, I found myself getting frustrated by the limited functionality of its cover display despite being bigger than the cover display on Samsung\u2019s flip phones. In practice I felt Oppo didn\u2019t make the most of this larger screen real estate. The Find N2 Flip will only display the subject lines and not the body text of emails when you get a notification, for example, or only offer a few hours of weather forecasts rather than the whole day.<\/p>\n

CoverScreen OS\u2019s support for the Find N2 Flip is described as \u201cexperimental\u201d and \u201cinitial\u201d for now, but it has big ambitions. As well as the ability to launch full apps, it also aims to let you add widgets designed for the standard home screen<\/a>. There\u2019s support for a full Qwerty keyboard, voice typing, or an old-fashioned T9 keyboard. In a video demonstration, the developer demonstrates opening YouTube and then a web browser from the app drawer, and then typing into a text box using an onscreen keyboard.<\/p>\n

Plus, according to the app\u2019s developer, CoverScreen OS still leaves you able to use the Oppo Find N2 Flip\u2019s default cover display functionality like system quick toggles and widgets. Just be warned that while it\u2019s reportedly stable on Samsung\u2019s flip phones, the app is a first preview version and still \u201crequires some heavy sustained development effort to deliver a feature complete version,\u201d according to its developers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to give CoverScreen OS a try, you can download it now over on the Google Play Store<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
