DviouS Posted April 12, 2019 #1 Posted April 12, 2019 I've already pre-ordered the S10+ and can confirm that they really have the said feature enabled. A few months back when everything was just mere speculation, I didn't believe that they would be able to really integrate the wallet into the said phone. I don't know if the Knox counter would be able to sync with the said wallet, because if so, this will get hackers a hard time messing around getting over with the said security feature Samsung is notorious about. However I wouldn't bank largely at this to cause some hype for bitcoin and crypto, as the hype is still somewhat centered on the device itself. Also, most premium smartphone users won't even care with what's in their phone at all, as long as it's the latest and works. Another question comes to my mind, is the features available all over the world. Talk about Samsung, my country is always get the lower Specs in case of the Processor. It is built in Snapdragon 855 in other countries but it will be only with Exynos in my country. Need to wait for a complete review from Indonesian user (especially gadget reviewer).
blueprints Posted April 12, 2019 #2 Posted April 12, 2019 So is this specifically only for the mentioned phone? Or is this for samsung devices and is this for specific countries? So you can buy bitcoin directly through your phone? Like how, do you link a card or bank. Do you need to pass verification and how long does buying your coins take, like till you get them in your wallet.
Kate Posted April 12, 2019 #3 Posted April 12, 2019 It was decided by Samsung that they will integrate the payment method not wallet according to my recollection . They will integrate this into the Samsung store and not as a wallet.
barbaris Posted April 12, 2019 #4 Posted April 12, 2019 Great choice friend. Not a fan of samsung. But this model changes my view on samsung. With an Exynos 9820 processor, the price tag is about $1,500, and such as you have Snapdragon 855 around $900. Does it make sense to pay so much for Exynos.
BLXN Posted April 19, 2019 #5 Posted April 19, 2019 So did it turn out that only ETH was supported? I wasn't aware of this feature at all- however I am quite intrigued, as I am in the market for a new phone.https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/03/06/samsung-galaxy-s10-bitcoin-ethereum/ I can't help but wonder how this will affect the blackmarket? xD
Etude Posted April 21, 2019 #6 Posted April 21, 2019 This is a interesting new features for these high end phones in relations to Bitcoins. 😮 Advancement in these areas are definitely beneficial to cryptocurrency and blockchain as a whole.

Sped Posted April 21, 2019 #8 Posted April 21, 2019 So is this only for the specific phone or will it work for others.
RickT Posted April 21, 2019 #9 Posted April 21, 2019 it's a good news as I think is a step for adoption. bad news for my NPXS bag.
cryptjh Posted April 21, 2019 #10 Posted April 21, 2019 You can also just download a wallet on your phone and then buy your bitcoins from an exchange. But I like that Samsung is starting to find ways to integrate crypto and blockchains into their products. Big tech companies like Samsung thinks 5 or even 10 years into the future, in that future blockchain, will probably have a bigger role, and crypto holding cut has gone mainstream. So adding some crypt options now are just a test of a greater future product.
lolland2k Posted April 22, 2019 #11 Posted April 22, 2019 thank you very much for the information i don't have s10 yet but i will probably buy one as soon as it is available.
KiXxnTRiXx Posted April 23, 2019 #12 Posted April 23, 2019 hmmm. ive heard of thiis before.. some built-in crypto wallet on android phone.. would be neat, but i wonder what kind of insane price theyre selling the phone for.. cause we all know it wont come cheap.. theres always a catch..

Have you done what you said about to get bitcoins through the phone? Please let us know. Huawuey will come with a wallet also, that is what I heard. Good Luck.
cryptofly Posted May 13, 2019 #14 Posted May 13, 2019 Starbucks will soon accept cryptocurrencies. The fact that they are "testing" blockchain to track the coffee beans means alot. NYSE will soon open and run the project, with bakkt. Can`t wait.
vaname Posted May 28, 2019 #15 Posted May 28, 2019 thanks for the information , in my opinion, if Samsung has made it, the process for making transactions can be done on the smartphone or it still needs additional. is it for security issues to be safe, if in my opinion this is quite dangerous it might be possible when the smartphone is successfully cracked then the transaction can still be done without asking for confirmation to the owner.

HumberRolls Posted June 2, 2019 #17 Posted June 2, 2019 In my country they will never be authorized in bitcoins as payment method
DreamStage Posted June 3, 2019 #18 Posted June 3, 2019 I do not like such thing being centralized into their Phone model (Samsung in this case) as we are talking about Cryptocurrencies com'on... There are several applications that do that for us already which are not centralized focused and have way more solutions to exchange your money into crypto and vice versa. It should in fact have their own system to connect to your own wallets more faster using their own technology but not having a centralized wallet on their system as it seems like they will want to control it in the future.

It seems like more and more countries are accepting crypto and becoming more open to using and adopting it. Who knows, in 20 years, fiat currency might no longer exist.

FotisNt Posted June 25, 2019 #24 Posted June 25, 2019 in fact have their own system to connect to your own wallets more faster using their own technology but not having a centralized wallet on their system as it seems like they will want to control it
Burgerwcheese Posted June 25, 2019 #25 Posted June 25, 2019 Doesn't give me any immediate urge to switch over to Samsung at all...maybe if the 452 other ways I have to buy/get btc falls thru I might think about it
