A while ago, some images of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 surfaced online. After the images were leaked, Benjamin Geskin, the well-known serial mobile leaker, said that the Samsung Galaxy S10 series will feature an Ethereum wallet option in the list of supported cryptocurrencies.

While the images only showed real software that will be in the phone, this doesn’t mean ETH is the only cryptocurrency it will support. As development continues, other cryptocurrencies may be added before the official launch of the device.
Samsung is carrying out a rigorous campaign ahead of the launch. The advertising campaign features banners with simple text inscribed on a white background in Paris. This is all a build up ahead of the launch event that is scheduled for February 20th.
From the leaked images, the rumors that Samsung is making plans to offer a cold cryptocurrency wallet on the S10 series has been confirmed. Keep in mind that the company denied that it had any plans to offer a cold wallet last year. This was despite the fact that they applied for a trademark for a cryptocurrency wallet in the United Kingdom. After applying for the trademark, one of the company’s senior executives during an interview with JAX, said that blockchain isn’t as important as decentralization.
If the rumors are true and the new phone comes with an Ethereum wallet, this will be a good thing for the world’s foremost decentralised computer. Ethereum will tap from Samsung’s wide user base. Ethereum hodlers who are also Samsung users will be able to take advantage of all the features the wallet will offer. Members of the Ethereum community are already filled with excitement about the news. Until the phones are released though, all this should be regarded as speculation.
