Reddit user moomanjohnny shared a video showing what appears to be iPhone Duo-like animations while switching back and forth between the cover screen and the inner display of Samsung’s recent foldable. While this is reportedly a proof of concept for the time being, the fact that it can be achieved without external tinkering suggests the underlying hardware is present.
