The Samsung GalaxyZFlip4's outer display has helped me fight the urge to get lost in the flurry of unwanted notifications and social media posts.

I reach for my phone subconsciously every few moments, no matter what notifications I have to read or respond to. I soothe myself by saying that this behavior is not uncommon; it is widely endemic, especially in modern societies where phones play a major part in our lives.

In moments of reflection, I hold myself guilty of relinquishing my attention to mind-numbing scrolls on Twitter, frivolous games, and dog videos to spike my dwindling serotonin levels. The realization is — to say the least — unpleasant, which is why I prefer to avoid such poignant and torturous epiphanies.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 limits notification overload As I have admitted above, I habitually pick up my phone and start to use it aimlessly, often out of boredom. But on a deeper level, this compulsive habit of checking my phone every few minutes — sometimes right after I have put it down — comes from the pressure to stay connected and on top of all my notifications.

To my surprise, the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s cover screen has helped me curb these urges significantly in the past month that I have used it as my primary smartphone. Essentially, every new notification that arrives on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 notifies me with the app’s icon on the outer screen. If the notification is not marked as private or if the smartphone has already been unlocked with Smart Lock or using the side-mounted fingerprint sensor, it will also show the contents of the notifications.

Honestly, a major chunk of these notifications are not worth the attention. And this realization rushes in with a sense of regret. In rare moments of frustration or emotional volatility, this regret can also welcome a flurry of negative emotions, including but not limited to self-criticism and self-loathing.
