In an interesting marketing move, Samsung have released a new model S10, with not just an eWallet, but with crypto already loaded.
We all know that printer manufacturers make money from the ink sales not the device.
The same goes with mobile phones, the device is just a way to get users to join a plan & consume data.
This new marketing idea could catch on. Imagine a phone that costs $xxx.00, but comes with $xxx.00 of crypto already loaded.
The xmas & end of season value adds could be huge, and a great way for manufacturers to move old previous model stock before releasing a new model.
In the mean time Samsung are including the eWallet that supports BTC & ETH, but the coins are KLAY, something that is yet to be listed on exchanges. And this first model will only be available in specific countries.
But an idea that could catch on.
Time will tell
