Samsung has joined Google and Apple in launching its own digital wallet platform. The new Samsung Wallet for mobile is launching in more countries and will start to cater digital IDs, loyalty cards, car and smart door keys. It's even possible to track your cryptocurrencies.


TL;DR

  • Samsung launches new Wallet for mobile platform.
  • Samsung Wallet can store digital IDs, car keys, and cryptocurrencies.
  • Samsung Wallet is now available in six new countries starting June 17, 2022.

The new Samsung Wallet will be integrated within the current Samsung Pay service and Samsung Pass. Like with Google Wallet, Samsung users will have an alternative for storing loyalty and membership cards on their Samsung Galaxy devices. According to the manufacturer, support for digital identification cards such as driver's licenses and school IDs is also planned.

For security concerns, the digital wallet relies on Samsung's Knox protection. Samsung also says that only the users will have direct access to the sensitive information stored in their smartphone.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
