Samsung Calendar Update (Version 12.5.03.17)

Reminder App Update (Version 12.5.03.16)
The Reminder app has also received several key updates to enhance functionality and user experience:
- Cover Screen Widget for Galaxy Flip Series: A new cover screen widget is introduced for the Galaxy Flip series, allowing users to manage reminders directly from the cover screen. This feature provides quick access to important tasks and reminders without unfolding the device.
