Samsung Wallet brings everything from digital keys, identification cards, boarding passes, digital assets like blockchain, and more into a unified system. Moreover, Samsung Wallet comes with a defense-grade security protocol that Samsung Knox allows it to have a superior defense against unwanted elements. Furthermore, it will have a closer integration with the Galaxy ecosystem allowing it to tap into the features like SmartThings and monitor cryptocurrencies all on a single interface.
Samsung Wallet comes with a unified view where you get access to payment cards, membership cards, and loyalty cards. It can now store passwords of various apps since it merges the particular feature from Samsung Pass so that’s where you have it. You can keep your student IDs and driver’s licenses among others on the app as well.
Moving further, Samsung Wallet comes with integration to SmartThings that enables you to manage home security systems from well-known brands Samsung has partnered with. You can even use your Galaxy phone with Samsung Wallet to unlock the doors of your cars. Currently, selected BMW models to support this feature after July 2020 as well as some Hyundai and Genesis models from 2021 get the said update as well.
Samsung Wallet comes paired with fingerprint recognition and encryption in order to keep users’ sensitive data protected from any unwanted elements.
