Flex mode allows you to use the device while it's folded. By folding it and placing it on a flat surface, you can set it up at different angles. When you fold it within a specific range, the device can stand upright. This folding action also changes how certain apps appear.

For instance, in the Camera app, the shooting options move to a more accessible position when the device is folded. You can find more details in the section about using the camera in Flex mode. Additionally, there's a feature called the Flex mode panel that offers a different screen layout; you can learn more about this in the section dedicated to using the Flex mode panel. The device can detect if it's fully folded or unfolded based on the angle. However, not all apps support changing the screen layout through Flex mode.
