SUMMARY
I got a Samsung Galaxy Z-Flip 5 (foldable device). Trying "Find my phone" will not make the phone ring if it is folded

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. take your foldable phone and fold it,
2. on your PC, use the Find my phone functionality ("Faire sonner mon téléphone" in my french version) 

OBSERVED RESULT
sometimes, there is a very short sound (0.5 sec), sometimes there is nothing.
If you unfold the phone, it rings !

EXPECTED RESULT
The device should ring even when it is closed. (and optionally : display the "found" screen on the external screen)
