Samsung announced a new generation of smartphones during its Unpacked event on February 11. The Galaxy S20s provide advanced cameras, 5G technology and will be able to store your crypto.

However, unlike Samsungs last range of phones, the Galaxy S10s, it hasnt broadcast the cryptocurrency support to the same degree. While previously it advertised its blockchain keystore, announcing new coinsand eventually adding Bitcointhis time theres barely a mention of crypto or blockchain anywhere.

The only reference is on Samsungs official website, which states that the S20 phones will contain a secure processor dedicated to protecting your PIN, password, pattern and Blockchain Private Key.

But elsewhere its lacking. There are no details as to what this might entail, which coins are supported and how many apps will be able to access the crypto support.

However, we can look to previous phones for answers. The S10s contained a secure enclave for keeping private keys, kept in the phones Knox security platform. It connects to Samsungs blockchain keystore app, which is used for people to see their balances and send money. Considering that the S20 also contains Knox, its possible that it will continue to use the same system.

We have reached out to Samsung for details on the S20s blockchain support and will update this article if we hear back.
