Samsung will equip its mobile phones with digital car keys.

During the release of GalaxyS2 1, Samsung announced the plan to configure digital car keys in mobile phones. Since then, Samsung has finally begun to increase its support for this feature. Samsung said that its digital car keys supporting ultra-wideband (UWB) and NFC will be first launched in South Korea, and the all-electric Genesis GV60 can only be launched on one car.

On UWB-enabled devices-Samsung GalaxyS2 1Plus and Ultra, Note20Ultra and GalaxyZFold2 and 3-Samsung promises "passive access", which means you don't have to take out your phone or pocket from your bag. The telephone is nearby, so you can start the car, adjust the rearview mirror, seat and so on.

The numeric keys are stored in Samsung's passport and protected by "embedded security elements". According to Samsung, the number keys can be shared with anyone who runs android 1 1 and downloads its application. This is equivalent to using cars in one area now, but Samsung has cooperative relations with Audi, BMW and Ford. I hope that automobile manufacturers can increase their support as soon as possible, because Genesis has opened the seal. Verge has contacted Samsung to ask when more cars and location details will be supported.

And since Samsung supports nfc buttons, the old galaxy phone running android 1 1 should be more interesting. Samsung now regards UWB and NFC as the two main functions of mobile phones: the use of these digital car keys and GalaxySmart tags, which were released in June 5438+10. This goes hand in hand with Apple, which introduced the u 1 chip and the digital car key supported by ios 14.
