Photos show Samsung’s crypto wallet app on Galaxy S10

Photos have emerged of the Samsung Blockchain KeyStore, an app on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 that can serve as a wallet for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum. Earlier it was rumored that such an app would come.

Users can import an existing wallet or create a new wallet within the app, according to the photos that de Ben Geskin tweeted. The app supposedly allows users to see the status of their crypto assets and make transactions. Security is via a PIN code or via the fingerprint scanner of the phone.

SamMobile said last month that such an app was coming. This would be a wallet with support for bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum and erc20. Samsung would not have access to the data and the app would work with the standard method of security, with a password of between 12 and 24 words.

The photos show the app on a Galaxy S10 with a single front camera in a hole in the screen at the top right. The photos also show that the notification bar doesn’t extend all the way to the top of the screen; the space seems to extend to the top of the front camera, with a small void above the status icons. A screenshot also shows that empty space.

Samsung will announce the Galaxy S10 on February 20 at its own event, a few days before the Mobile World Congress telecom fair. There are reportedly four variants of the device: a Galaxy S10E, S10, S10 Plus and a version with 5G support.
