While the Samsung Galaxy Note10 line was released
just last month, the company is now teaming up with South Korea’s Klaytn
blockchain platform to introduce new KlaytnPhone exclusive versions of the
Note10 5G and Note10+ 5G for South Korea.
The new devices are identical to their regular
counterparts in all hardware and software aspects but come with a crypto wallet
and several pre-installed blockchain apps. In addition, those who pick up their
Klaytn Note10s will receive 2,000 Klay tokens which is the cryptocurrency of
the Kakao backed company.
Other Android phones can also run the Klaytn blockchain
apps but the platform’s extended transaction features will remain exclusive to
the new Note10s. Another exclusive feature is the Samsung Blockchain Keystore
which allows users to manage extended blockchain transactions and key storage
data directly on their phone.
Both phones are already available on the KlaytnPhone
website. The Klaytn Note10 5G starts at KRW 1,248,500 (US$ 1,048) while the Note10+
5G will go for KRW 1,397,000 (US$ 1,173) in its 256GB storage version and KRW
1,496,000 (US$ 1,256) for the 512GB variant.
