Samsung includes crypto options on budget models

Samsung announced to include cryptocurrency wallets in the upcoming Galaxy S10 and its budget models.

From previous screenshots it looks like Ethereum and its tokens will be supported by the wallet, which means you can collect most airdrops using the Samsung crypto application. Great news for our beloved airdrop hunters who use Android over Apple. 

The tech giant reported in Korean news:

“We will lower barriers to new experiences by gradually expanding the number of Galaxy models that support blockchain functions. We will also expand our service target countries after Korea, the United States, and Canada,” said Chae Won-cheol, senior managing director of the product strategy team at Samsung.

 

Being able to access cryptocurrencies through budget Galaxy models allows a greater number of people to get access to the blockchain world. It's an important step towards mass adoption, by lowering the entry barriers for the end users.

Airdrop Alert recently reported the plans of a new cryptocurrency by the Korean tech giant, plus their enterprise framework will include blockchain technology.

It's not only good news in the blockchain space though. Shark Tank's host Kevin O'Leary recently called out "crypto crap" on an CNBC interview. And Nvidia struggled to sell leftover miner parts.
