Recently, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G foldable smartphone. The shape of this device is basically the same as the previous generation. On the rear, this smartphone comes with a 1.9-inch external small screen. This external screen can display time, weather, music, notifications, and can also be used to take pictures. CarudiBu, a member of the XDA team discovered a vulnerability in the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. This bug essentially makes the external screen run a GeckoView-based browser so that it can browse web pages and customize widgets. CarudiBu’s post pointed out that this vulnerability does not require ROOT, but Samsung Health needs to be uninstalled first.
It is also worth mentioning that although this vulnerability can be used to browse web pages on the external screen using custom widgets, it is not possible to access the on-screen keyboard or save the current session. If Samsung does not disable this vulnerability in subsequent updates, it should be able to unlock more ways to play.
The main display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 is 6.7 inches and it comes with a 120Hz refresh rate. This foldable smartphone comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB/256GB of internal storage. The battery capacity is 3300 mAh and it supports Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a side fingerprint recognition. In addition, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 supports IPX8 waterproofing. In the camera department, we have a 12MP ultra wide-angle camera as well as a 12MP wide-angle camera. On the front, there is a 10MP shooter.
