Haha, What: Galaxy S10 Leak Reveals a Blockchain KeyStore

Samsung Salaxy S10 : Samsung is eyeing the world of cryptocurrency it seems. A leak surfaced today showing a Galaxy S10 with its big ol’ hole punch display and a “Welcome to Samsung S10 Blockchain KeyStore” app open. What the hell, man.

I’m more interested in the device leak, which is of the Galaxy S10. We get two new images of the Samsung S10 phone showing off a top-right front camera hole in the screen that looks quite big. That camera hole has shifted status bar icons for your WiFi, cellular, and battery icons, causing me an ounce or two of anxiety. It even shifts everything when a screenshot is taken, unlike the notches of 2018.

Samsung Salaxy S10 ; Overall, I think the hole punch is an improvement over the notch and I’m not trying to complain too much here, I just don’t know that it’s massive improvement. I’ll take it, though, as long as Google adopts and avoids making another Pixel 3 XL.

As for the Samsung S10 Blockchain KeyStore, I don’t have much of a reaction to it. The Galaxy S10 screenshots suggest that you’ll be able to “secure and manage your blockchain private keys” and is a “secure and convenient place for your cryptocurrency.” I know absolutely nothing about cryptocurrency, what blockchain is, and if this is good or not. I’ll leave that to cryptobros.

What Is Samsung ?

Is Samsung Electronics' lead line of Android cell phones and tablets. 

The original Samsung Galaxy smartphone debuted in 2009, and the line's first tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, came out the following year. More than 60 different Samsung Galaxy models have hit the market since then, including an Android-based camera. Popular devices include the Samsung Galaxy Note and Note 2 phablets, as well as the S III and S IV smartphones.

As the world's top smartphone manufacturer, Samsung has taken steps to distance its Galaxy devices from the Android name, in an attempt to re-frame the Apple vs. Android debate as an Apple vs. Samsung debate. For example, the company adds significant additional features to its phones than what is available through the stock Android operating system, such as its Samsung Approved for Enterprise security application program interfaces (APIs).
