Samsung explains the new feature in the press release:



“Galaxy S10 is built with defense-grade Samsung Knox, as well as a secure storage backed by hardware, which houses your private keys for blockchain-enabled mobile services.”



The new S10 is an upgraded version of the previous phone from that series. It can charge other phones wirelessly, the camera system is built on ‘advanced intelligence’. The device has many more new features.



There is not much information about the Knox solution. Samsung representatives have not commented on that topic yet. We only know that Samsung has joined a growing line of smartphones designed with cryptocurrencies in mind.
