[iNews24 reporter Hwang Se-woong] Samsung Electronics announced on the 27th that it's launching Samsung Wallet Trips, a new feature that lets Galaxy users keep all their travel details in one place.
From boarding passes and hotel bookings to theme-park and sports-event tickets, Samsung Wallet Trips brings all your travel essentials together inside the Samsung Wallet app.
Samsung says it pulled travel details that were scattered across different apps and platforms into Samsung Wallet to make life easier for users.
You can create a trip in Samsung Wallet and use the Trip Timeline to see your itinerary organized by time and location. Add plans, jot notes, and save links so everything you need is in one place.
Samsung has teamed up with global partners so hotel and flight confirmations, plus activity and tour tickets, can be added directly to Samsung Wallet. The company plans to expand these partnerships to support even more types of travel information.
Security has also been beefed up — Samsung Knox protects user data, while encryption and biometric authentication ensure only the device owner can access travel details.
That means Galaxy users can handle payments, ticket management, and itinerary checks all from the Samsung Wallet app.
Chae Won-cheol, vice president and head of the Digital Wallet Team in Samsung's MX division, said Samsung Wallet Trips will help Galaxy users manage travel information more intelligently so they can focus on enjoying their trips.
