Card template management is a crucial task for partners in the Samsung Wallet ecosystem that is typically handled through the Wallet Partners Portal. Manually altering numerous existing templates via the web interface can be inefficient and challenging. Samsung provides a set of server-side APIs to address this, allowing partners to programmatically manage and modify their card templates for greater operational agility. Using these APIs enables partners to integrate update capabilities directly into their own ecosystems. This automation facilitates the seamless maintenance of card offerings, helping partners keep their content dynamic and up-to-date. As a partner, this article walks you through the implementation of the Update Wallet Card Template API specifically using Python. If you are a Java developer or want to implement the Add Wallet Card Template API, you can follow the previous content on creating Samsung Wallet card templates. NoteTo follow this article, you'll need an existing card template and its cardId. Make sure you have completed the Samsung Wallet onboarding to obtain the necessary certificates. Also, you need permission to use this API. Only permitted partners can use this API. API overview This section details the REST API designed for modifying a pre-existing wallet card template, enabling direct updates from a partner's server. Endpoint URL: Direct requests to modify a card template to the following URL. It is imperative to substitute {cardId} with the identifier of the specific card template you intend to alter. https://tsapi-card.walletsvc.samsung.com/partner/v1/card/template/{cardId} Request headers: Secure interaction with this API is restricted to authenticated partners. The headers detailed below are vital for establishing a secure and validated communication channel with the Samsung server. Authorization: This field must contain the Bearer token. For comprehensive information, consult the JSON web token documentation. X-smcs-partner-id: This field must be populated with your unique partner identifier. X-request-id: A universally unique identifier (UUID) is required here, freshly generated for each request. Request body: The payload of the request needs to be structured as a JSON object. This object must include a key named ctemplate, with its value being a JWT token. This specific JWT securely contains the complete data for the revised card template. For a deeper dive into the API specifications, check the official documentation. Implementing the API to create a card template The Update Wallet Card Template API enables partners to modify existing card templates in the Wallet Partners Portal. In this section, we implement Python code to update a coupon card template, for example, by changing its title. Extracting the keys from certificates Extract the public and private keys from the certificate files obtained during the onboarding process. def getPublicKey(crt_path): """ Extract publick key from a .crt file. """ try: with open(crt_path, "rb") as f: crt_data = f.read() certificate = x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(crt_data, default_backend()) public_key = certificate.public_key() public_key_pem = public_key.public_bytes( encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM, format=serialization.PublicFormat.SubjectPublicKeyInfo ) return jwk.JWK.from_pem(public_key_pem) except Exception as error: print(f"Error reading public key from {crt_path}: {error}") return None def getPrivateKey(pem_path): ''' Extract private key from a .pem file. ''' try: with open(pem_path, "rb") as pem_data: private_key = serialization.load_pem_private_key( pem_data.read(), password = None, backend = default_backend() ) return private_key.private_bytes( encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM, format=serialization.PrivateFormat.PKCS8, encryption_algorithm=serialization.NoEncryption() ) except Exception as error: print(f"Error reading private key from {pem_path}: {error}") return None Generating the authorization token The Samsung server uses a JWT format token to verify if the request is from an authorized partner. Follow these steps to create an authorization token. Create an authorization token header. Set the payload content type to ‘AUTH’ since this is an authorization token. Create the payload using the authorization token header. Generate the authorization token. The following code snippet demonstrates these steps. def generateAuthToken(partnerId, certificateId, utcTimestamp, privateKey, cardId): auth_header = { "cty": "AUTH", "ver": 3, "certificateId": certificateId, "partnerId": partnerId, "utc": utcTimestamp, "alg": "RS256" } auth_payload = { "API": { "method": "POST", "path": f"/partner/v1/card/template/{cardId}" }, } auth_token = jwt.encode( payload=auth_payload, key=privateKey, algorithm='RS256', headers=auth_header ) return auth_token Generating a payload object token The request body includes a parameter named ctemplate, which is also a JWT token. Create the JWT token using the following code snippet. def generateCDataToken(partnerId, samsungPublicKey, partnerPrivateKey, certificateId, utcTimestamp, data): jwe_header = { "alg": "RSA1_5", "enc": "A128GCM" } jwe_token = jwe.encrypt( data, samsungPublicKey, encryption=jwe_header["enc"], algorithm=jwe_header["alg"] ) print(f"jwe_token: \n{jwe_token}\n") jws_header = { "alg": "RS256", "cty": "CARD", "ver": 3, "certificateId": certificateId, "partnerId": partnerId, "utc": utcTimestamp, } jws_token = jws.sign( jwe_token, key=partnerPrivateKey, algorithm='RS256', headers=jws_header ) print(f"jws_token: \n{jws_token}\n") return jws_token Building and executing the request Build and send the HTTP request to the specified update endpoint. Add all fields that you want to modify in the ’cDataPayload’ object. Refer to the documentation to identify the fields that you can modify. def main(partnerId, cardId, certificateId, utcTimestamp, requestId, endpoint): partnerPublicKey = getPublicKey("../cert/partner.crt") print(f"partnerPublicKey {partnerPublicKey}") samsungPublicKey = getPublicKey("../cert/samsung.crt") print(f"samsungPublicKey {samsungPublicKey}\n") partnerPrivateKey = getPrivateKey("../cert/private_key.pem") print(f"partnerPrivateKey {partnerPrivateKey}\n") authToken = generateAuthToken(partnerId, certificateId, utcTimestamp, partnerPrivateKey, cardId) print(f"authToken {authToken}\n") cDataPayload = {} # --- Add data here that you want to update. cDataPayload["cardTemplate"] = { "title": "Update Card tile", "countryCode": "KR", "saveInServerYn": "Y" } data = json.dumps(cDataPayload).encode('utf-8') cDataToken = generateCDataToken(partnerId, samsungPublicKey, partnerPrivateKey, certificateId, utcTimestamp, data) print(f"cDataToken: \n{cDataToken}\n") # --- Prepare JSON body (Python dictionary) --- c_data_json_body = { "ctemplate": cDataToken } # --- Build HTTP Request --- headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer " + authToken, "x-smcs-partner-id": partnerId, "x-request-id": requestId, "x-smcs-cc2": "KR", "Content-Type": "application/json" } # --- Execute HTTP Request --- try: response = requests.post(endpoint, json=c_data_json_body, headers=headers) response.raise_for_status() print("Wallet Card Template updated successfully: " + json.dumps(response.json())) except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: print("Failed to update Wallet Card Template:") print(f"Error: {e}") if response: print("Response body:", response.text) Running the application Download the sample project and open it with any IDE, then follow this process.

Samsung Pay feature development Now that your partner account set up is complete, it's time to integrate Samsung Pay functionality into your Android application. Next we will integrate the Samsung Pay SDK and implement core payment features to enable seamless in-app transactions in your app. Download and add the SDK Go to the Downloads page in Samsung Pay and scroll down to the Android section to download the Samsung Pay SDK. SDK components The Samsung Pay SDK has the following components: Java Library (samsungpay_x.xx.xx.jar): Contains the classes and interfaces to integrate with the Samsung Pay. Sample Apps: Demonstrates the implementation of Samsung Pay APIs to simplify the process of building your own. Add the SDK to your project Create a folder called ‘libs’ if one does not already exist, and move the SDK .jar file into this folder. /app ├── libs/ │ └── samsungpay_x.xx.xx.jar ├── src/main/ │ ├── kotlin/ │ ├── res/ │ └── AndroidManifest.xml Configure Gradle and dependencies Update settings.gradle.kts Add the ‘libs’ folder with the other repositories, if it is not there already. dependencyResolutionManagement { repositories { google() mavenCentral() flatDir { dirs 'libs' } } } Add the SDK Dependency in app/build.gradle.kts Add the Samsung Pay SDK as a dependency for your application. dependencies { implementation(files("libs/samsungpay_x.xx.xx.jar")) } Sync the Gradle to apply the changes. Configure Android app manifest Add the following configurations in your AndroidManifest.xml. This ensures the compatibility and proper functioning of your application. Add the Element <queries> <package android:name="com.samsung.android.spay" /> </queries> Add Metadata <meta-data android:name="spay_sdk_api_level" android:value="2.xx" /> <!-- Latest version is recommended] --> Implement functionality Now that the Samsung Pay SDK integration is complete, let us use this SDK to implement the complete functionality of the Samsung Pay SDK in your Android application. Here we will go through the complete flow of initiating a payment using the Samsung Pay SDK. Check Samsung Pay availability Initiating a payment starts by checking if Samsung Wallet is available for payment or not. Initialize the Samsung Pay service with your partner credentials, then verify if Samsung Pay is supported. If available, display the Samsung Pay button in your app. val serviceId = "partner_service_id" val bundle = Bundle() bundle.putString(SamsungPay.PARTNER_SERVICE_TYPE, SamsungPay.ServiceType.INAPP_PAYMENT.toString()) val partnerInfo = PartnerInfo(serviceId, bundle) val samsungPay = SamsungPay(context, partnerInfo) samsungPay.getSamsungPayStatus(object : StatusListener { override fun onSuccess(status: Int, bundle: Bundle) { when (status) { SamsungPay.SPAY_NOT_SUPPORTED -> samsungPayButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) SamsungPay.SPAY_NOT_READY -> { samsungPayButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) val errorReason = bundle.getInt(SamsungPay.EXTRA_ERROR_REASON) if (errorReason == SamsungPay.ERROR_SETUP_NOT_COMPLETED) samsungPay.activateSamsungPay() else if (errorReason == SamsungPay.ERROR_SPAY_APP_NEED_TO_UPDATE) samsungPay.goToUpdatePage() } SamsungPay.SPAY_READY -> samsungPayButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) } } override fun onFail(errorCode: Int, bundle: Bundle) { samsungPayButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) Log.d(TAG, "checkSamsungPayStatus onFail() : $errorCode") } }) Set up payment details and request the payment After the availability check is completed, you need to set up the payment details such as merchant information, transaction information, order number, and so on, before requesting the payment. The following code snippets show how to accomplish this. Make CustomSheet Create a simple custom payment sheet with amounts and items for the transaction. This sheet will be displayed during the payment process. You can customize the sheet according to your requirements. private fun makeUpCustomSheet(): CustomSheet { val amountBoxControl = AmountBoxControl(AMOUNT_CONTROL_ID, mBinding.currency.selectedItem.toString()) amountBoxControl.addItem( PRODUCT_ITEM_ID, mContext.getString(R.string.amount_control_name_item), mDiscountedProductAmount, "" ) amountBoxControl.addItem( PRODUCT_TAX_ID, mContext.getString(R.string.amount_control_name_tax), mTaxAmount + mAddedBillingAmount, "" ) amountBoxControl.addItem( PRODUCT_SHIPPING_ID, mContext.getString(R.string.amount_control_name_shipping), mShippingAmount + mAddedShippingAmount, "" ) amountBoxControl.setAmountTotal(totalAmount, amountFormat) val sheetUpdatedListener = SheetUpdatedListener { controlId: String, sheet: CustomSheet -> Log.d(TAG, "onResult control id : $controlId") updateControlId(controlId, sheet) } val customSheet = CustomSheet() customSheet.addControl(amountBoxControl) return customSheet } Make CustomSheetPaymentInfo Create payment information with merchant details, order number, and card brand preferences. private fun makeTransactionDetailsWithSheet(): CustomSheetPaymentInfo { // Get BrandList (supported card brands) val brandList = getBrandList() val customSheetPaymentInfo: CustomSheetPaymentInfo val customSheetPaymentInfoBuilder = CustomSheetPaymentInfo.Builder() customSheetPaymentInfoBuilder.setAddressInPaymentSheet(mRequestAddressOptions.requestAddressType) customSheetPaymentInfo = customSheetPaymentInfoBuilder .setMerchantId("your_merchant_id") .setMerchantName("your_merchant_name") .setOrderNumber("your_order_number") .setAddressInPaymentSheet(CustomSheetPaymentInfo.AddressInPaymentSheet.DO_NOT_SHOW) .setAllowedCardBrands(brandList) .setCardHolderNameEnabled(mBinding.cardBrandControl.displayCardHolderName.isChecked) .setCustomSheet(makeUpCustomSheet()) .build() return customSheetPaymentInfo } Request the payment Initiate the Samsung Pay payment process with transaction details and handle payment callbacks. mPaymentManager.startInAppPayWithCustomSheet( makeTransactionDetailsWithSheet(), object : CustomSheetTransactionInfoListener{ override fun onCardInfoUpdated( selectedCardInfo: CardInfo?, sheet: CustomSheet? ) { // Update your controls if needed based on business logic for card information update. // updateSheet() call is mandatory pass the updated customsheet as parameter. try { paymentManager.updateSheet(customSheet) } catch (e: java.lang.IllegalStateException) { e.printStackTrace() } catch (e: java.lang.NullPointerException) { e.printStackTrace() } } override fun onSuccess( customSheetPaymentInfo: CustomSheetPaymentInfo?, paymentCredential: String?, extraPaymentData: Bundle? ) { // Triggered upon successful payment, providing CustomSheetPaymentInfo and paymentCredential. // For example, you can send the payment credential to your server for further processing with PG. Or you could send it directly to the PG as per business need. sendPaymentDataToServer(paymentCredential) } override fun onFailure(errCode: Int, errorData: Bundle?) { // Fired when the transaction fails, offering error codes and details. Log.d(TAG, "onFailure() : $errCode") showErrorDialog(errCode, errorData) } }) Testing and release Test and validate To ensure a seamless and reliable integration of Samsung Pay, thorough testing is essential. This process validates transaction performance and guarantees a positive user experience for making a robust business impact. Testing goes beyond error detection; it aims to comprehensively assess the quality and functionality of your Samsung Pay integration. Release After successful testing, the next step is to secure release version approval from Samsung through the Samsung Pay Developers portal. Once approved, your application can be launched, allowing you to monitor user satisfaction and optimize performance. Conclusion By integrating Samsung Pay In-App Payments, you’ve enabled secure, convenient transactions for Samsung Pay users. This implementation expands your payment options while providing a seamless checkout experience. Additional Resources For additional information on this topic, refer to the resources below.

Read more Clustering-based Hard Negative Sampling for Supervised Contrastive Speaker Verification In recent years, researchers have employed various deep learning approaches to enhance the performance of speaker verification (SV) systems. Contrastive learning methods for SV are gaining attention as alternatives to traditional classification-based approaches because they effectively utilize hard negative pairs, which are different-class samples that are particularly challenging for a verification model to distinguish due to their similarity. Samsung R&D Institute Poland introduces a clustering-based hard negative sampling (CHNS) method to improve the efficiency of supervised contrastive learning models for SV. The CHNS approach clusters embeddings of similar speakers and adjusts batch composition to obtain an optimal ratio of hard and easy negatives during contrastive loss calculation.

Screens have become integral to every facet of modern living. From work to entertainment, people now seek more freedom in how and where they enjoy visual content. Amid this shift, Samsung Electronics is redefining what a display can be — transforming screens from static fixtures into versatile companions that move seamlessly with users’ lifestyles, anytime and anywhere. In the latest chapter of this journey to deliver the ultimate viewing experience, Samsung has explored the new “portable screen” category — embodied in The Movingstyle. Merging the company’s leading expertise across TVs, advanced monitors and mobile devices, The Movingstyle brings cinematic visuals and smart versatility to spaces where traditional screens can’t go. To learn more about its development, Samsung Newsroom spoke with Seokmin Baek from the Product Planning Group and Michael (Hyeon-seok) Kim from the Enterprise R&D Lab of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. ▲ (From left) Seokmin Baek and Michael Kim A Portable Screen for Every Viewing Experience One of the key challenges in product planning is aligning new technologies with user demand. “We recognized the demand for a more comfortable viewing experience — even at home — and paired that insight with Samsung’s expertise in portable screen technology,” explained Baek, who played a key role in planning The Movingstyle. “From The Sero, a portable TV with a pivoting screen for optimized mobile viewing, to The Freestyle portable projector and now The Movingstyle portable screen, Samsung has continuously expanded the boundaries of portable viewing,” he added. “Along the way, we identified the demand for a seamless viewing experience that lets users instantly open a screen wherever they want — and that idea became the starting point for this product.” ▲ The Movingstyle — a portable screen designed for effortless use anywhere around the home Thanks to its kickstand with a built-in battery, The Movingstyle can be used as a completely wireless screen anywhere — no additional accessories required. When extra power is needed, it can also be connected to an external battery. “With the goal of creating a portable screen that can be moved freely throughout the home, we equipped The Movingstyle with a kickstand that allows users to continue watching content while, and immediately after, detaching the screen — and to carry it easily by the handle,” explained Baek. By simply unfolding the kickstand, users can detach the screen without any extra tools and place The Movingstyle upright on a desk, table or any surface. ▲ With its intuitive design, fast touch response and remote-control support, The Movingstyle offers a distinctive viewing experience. Because The Movingstyle supports touch input, operation feels even more intuitive and convenient. Viewing experiences are often contrasted in two formats: the “lean-forward” experience, in which users lean in toward the screen for deep immersion, and the “lean-back” experience, in which they sit back and enjoy content in comfort. “The Movingstyle is a product that allows users to move naturally between these two viewing experiences,” he said. When users want to quickly adjust settings while on the move or look up a cooking video in the kitchen, they can use the touchscreen — the most intuitive and responsive way to interact. When watching a movie in bed, they can simply pick up the remote control. Both lean-forward and lean-back viewing are seamless and natural with The Movingstyle. “We spent a lot of time thinking about The Movingstyle’s identity during product planning and eventually arrived at a new category by combining Samsung’s expertise in mobile devices with the strengths of our TVs and monitors,” Baek explained. “In essence, The Movingstyle offers the portability of a mobile device, the accuracy of a monitor and the immersive viewing experience of a TV. The addition of a touch interface, in particular, takes the user experience to a whole new level.” User Satisfaction as the Ultimate Standard As a product that combines the best qualities of mobile devices, monitors and TVs, The Movingstyle stands in a category of its own that is reshaping the market landscape. Creating such a product category was no easy task. “We had to redefine everything — from planning and development to manufacturing — to deliver a completely new user experience,” said Kim, who was involved in the product’s development. “We revisited every step, from consumer research and the development process to quality assurance.” But redefining internal processes was only part of the challenge. Pioneering a new category also meant setting new industry standards. The development team had to determine specifications and establish safety standards from scratch. “I often pulled all-nighters, driven by the determination to create a brand-new category,” he said. “Without that goal, I don’t think I could have completed the project.” ▲ Blending the strengths of Samsung’s TVs, monitors and mobile devices, The Movingstyle opens a new category in display innovation. Unlike TVs, which are typically viewed from a distance, monitors are viewed much closer to the eyes — making them subject to stricter safety standards. And when touch functionality is added, durability, touch accuracy and response rate become critical factors as well. While monitors prioritize input-to-output accuracy, TVs must also enhance perceived picture quality and visual appeal. Developing such a versatile product came with many hurdles — from defining specifications to addressing legal standards — but Kim remained composed throughout. “As a developer and engineer, it is my role to identify what customers want and turn that into a product,” he said. “The Movingstyle was born from close collaboration across our TV, monitor and mobile teams, achieving a higher level of perfection by bringing together the best technologies from each field,” Kim added with pride. “It’s an outcome that could only be achieved by a world-leading company with deep technological expertise and product know-how across various categories.” A Beautifully Effortless Design, Perfected in the Details Aside from the screen itself, the kickstand is the most distinctive aspect of The Movingstyle’s design. As a key component that completes the portable screen’s user experience, it hides a number of intricate details behind its simple appearance. ▲ Rear view of The Movingstyle and its kickstand Durability was the primary focus of the kickstand’s development. “After much consideration, we adopted a circuit-integrated design for the hinge structure that allows the stand to fold. Simply put, there’s a sturdy hinge, and housed inside it are the cables, power management circuit and other parts,” explained Kim. An independent standard hinge — typically installed separately from components such as the battery, cables and circuit board — is far easier to develop and manufacture but significantly less durable. To ensure the highest quality, Samsung instead chose a structure that integrates the circuit and hinge into a single module. This approach required a more complex design and manufacturing process but was key to achieving The Movingstyle’s exceptional build. ▲ Connection ports and the attachment/detachment button located on the rear of The Movingstyle (left). The Movingstyle is designed to complement any interior, blending seamlessly into every space in the home. Careful thought was put into the connection ports located on the back of the screen as well. “The Movingstyle was designed to function as a single, self-contained object that blends naturally into any space, thanks to its slim and compact form,” Baek said. “We especially wanted users to focus entirely on the screen without being distracted by exposed cables. To achieve this, we neatly positioned the connection ports at the center of the rear panel, resulting in a clean and refined finish.” ▲ The Movingstyle can also be used in portrait mode. Another advantage of The Movingstyle is its ability to switch seamlessly between landscape and portrait modes while attached to the base stand. Users can enjoy both horizontal and vertical content in their optimal forms on the wide screen. “When giving a presentation, The Movingstyle can serve as a prompter in portrait mode. And with touch input support, the device is also convenient to use as a display during meetings where no other screen is available,” said Kim. ▲ The Movingstyle opens a new chapter in portable touchscreen technology. The Movingstyle exemplifies Samsung’s commitment to understanding user needs and transforming them into entirely new product experiences. “I hope The Movingstyle will be remembered as the starting point of a shift that opens a new chapter in portable touchscreen technology,” said Kim. More than just a cutting-edge display, The Movingstyle marks the next evolution in how users experience visual content — and now, it’s ready to prove its potential in the market.

As the film began, a quiet gasp of awe rippled through the audience. When the screen illuminated the dark theater, every frame came to life with an unprecedented level of clarity. The characters’ subtle expressions were vividly defined, while even the dimmest scenes unveiled striking contrasts and layers of intricate details. Samsung Onyx is the world’s first cinema LED display, introduced by Samsung Electronics in 2017. The first theater equipped with Samsung Onyx opened that same year at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Seoul, Korea, followed by five additional Lotte Cinema locations1 around the country. Now, in October 2025, the latest evolution of Samsung Onyx — the company’s first major update to the technology in eight years — makes its Korean debut at Lotte Cinema Sillim’s Gwang-eum LED theater, the cinema brand’s seventh LED venue. So why is Lotte Cinema expanding its lineup of cinema LED theaters and moving away from traditional projectors? Samsung Newsroom visited the new Gwang-eum LED theater to experience the difference firsthand and hear what moviegoers and theater representatives had to say. ▲ Lotte Cinema Sillim’s Gwang-eum LED theater, where Samsung’s latest Onyx technology made its Korean debut A Rich Interplay Between Contrast and Color ▲ At Lotte Cinema Sillim’s Gwang-eum LED theater, a Samsung Onyx trailer plays before each movie begins. The difference was clear the moment the screen lit up. As fine beams of light gradually filled the pitch-black display, Samsung Onyx delivered breathtaking contrast and deep blacks, while the interplay of light and color revealed an exceptional range of hues that almost felt tangible. ▲ The Samsung Onyx display delivers 4K resolution with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, reproducing every hue and texture just as film creators intended — without distortion. Unlike conventional projector systems, Samsung Onyx generates its own light through LEDs, producing perfectly defined blacks and whites along with an exceptionally rich color palette. Its outstanding contrast ratio and deep blacks ensure uniform brightness across the entire screen without light bleed, allowing even the darkest scenes to maintain their texture and depth. ▲ The Samsung Onyx screen delivers brilliant HDR visuals with peak brightness levels of 300 nits (87.6fL), true black levels and precise color accuracy. “Even during the brightest and darkest scenes, my eyes didn’t feel strained,” shared moviegoer Jeonghyeon Yoon after watching a popular animated film at the theater. “The frames flowed so smoothly that it made watching the movie even more enjoyable.” The vivid color and contrast of the Samsung Onyx screen appeal not only to audiences but also to animation filmmakers. “On the Onyx, these little details were perfectly visible —details which give a lot to the atmosphere, to the peaceful tone of the scene,” said Matīss Kaža, producer of the dialogue-free animated film “Flow” — which won a Golden Globe® Award for Best Motion Picture — Animated and an Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature. “Cinema is all about detailing in the visual storytelling, and this comes through on Onyx very well.” In addition, Pixar Animation Studios has collaborated with Samsung to master its animated films such as “Elemental,” “Inside Out 2” and “Elio,” making them available in 4K theatrical HDR format compatible with Samsung Onyx. ▲ (From left) Jinha Jeong and Yongseop Yoon of Lotte Cultureworks note that Samsung’s ongoing technological innovation and reliable product quality have enabled the delivery of a consistently premium cinema experience. “Samsung Onyx enables sophisticated color expression and reproduces true blacks, earning highly positive feedback from audiences,” said Jinha Jeong, Senior Manager at Operations Innovation Team, Lotte Cultureworks. “Many animation fans now say that certain movies must be watched in Onyx LED theaters. With such strong audience satisfaction, LED theaters have now established themselves as one of Lotte Cinema’s signature screening formats.” Mega-Sized Screens That Transform the Atmosphere The evolution of Samsung Onyx goes beyond picture quality. The 2025 model (ICD) is reshaping not just the visuals but the very environment of the moviegoing experience. A new screen nearly 11 meters wide has been installed at Lotte Cinema Sillim’s Gwang-eum LED theater — the largest size possible within the theater’s dimensions. This was made possible by Samsung Onyx’s flexible scaling options, which allow for custom sizing beyond the standard widths of 5 meters (1.25 mm pixel pitch), 10 meters (2.5 mm) and 14 meters (3.3 mm).2 In Lotte Cinema Sillim’s case, additional cabinets were added to the sides and bottom of the standard 10-meter model, enlarging the display by more than 30%. “Due to the structural limitations of the Sillim branch, we were previously able to install only a 10.24-by-5.4-meter LED screen,” Jeong explained. “However, with Onyx’s scalability, we expanded it to 11.52 by 6.3 meters,3 creating a captivating sense of immersion that fills the viewer’s entire field of vision.” ▲ Yongseop Yoon and Jinha Jeong explain that thanks to Onyx’s scalability, they were able to install the largest possible screen for the Gwang-eum LED theater’s space. In Samsung Onyx-equipped theaters, every seat offers a crystal-clear view without edge distortion or resolution loss, ensuring an optimal viewing experience from any angle. Unlike traditional projector-based theaters, Samsung Onyx delivers uniform brightness and color accuracy across the entire screen for every single viewer. ▲ The Onyx screen’s ability to reproduce the colors and textures exactly as creators intended allows viewers to enjoy vivid, distortion-free images without loss of resolution — no matter where they sit in the theater. “Dynamic scenes such as explosions and battles appeared incredibly sharp, and the vibrant colors made the viewing experience even more immersive,” shared Eunjeong Lim, another moviegoer, after watching a film at the Gwang-eum LED theater. “Even the outlines of the subtitles were crystal clear, and compared to other screens, the colors felt noticeably richer and more vivid,” added fellow viewer Byeongrok Kang. ▲ Both on-screen text and subtitles appear exceptionally sharp and clear on Onyx screens. In addition, Samsung Onyx delivers peak brightness levels of up to 300 nits — about six times brighter than conventional projector systems — offering crisp, lifelike visuals even in well-lit environments. This enables theaters to use the space not only for movie screenings but also for a wide range of events such as live concert broadcasts, sports match screenings and dining cinema experiences. “When watching concert footage, the LED screen vividly captures even the darkest corners of the stage,” Jeong explained. “In the Gwang-eum LED theater, where the Onyx screen is paired with powerful sound, audiences can immerse themselves to an astonishing degree.” “We’re expanding differentiated services like Onyx LED theaters to deliver a more vivid and immersive viewing environment that can only be experienced in cinemas,” said Yongseop Yoon, Head of Projection System Network Operation Center (NOC) at Lotte Cultureworks. “Beyond technological advancement, our goal with the Samsung Onyx screen is to convey the emotional essence of film in its purest form.” “Personally, I highly recommend watching a visually stunning sci-fi movie at the Gwang-eum LED theater in Sillim,” he added. Entering the Next Generation of the Cinema Experience Samsung Onyx is more than just an LED screen — it’s a space where viewers can experience the future of cinema right before their eyes. Those who have experienced the cutting-edge technology often comment that they can’t wait to experience it again. “The speed and intensity of the action scenes felt very real, and the vivid colors made me feel as if I were part of the movie,” Lim shared. “With this level of picture and sound quality, I definitely want to watch my next film at an Onyx theater.” “For films by directors like Makoto Shinkai, where color and visual style are essential, watching them here would feel completely different,” added Jeonghyeon Yoon. In an era when the boundaries between streaming and theatrical releases are becoming increasingly blurred, Samsung Onyx reminds viewers of the irreplaceable emotion that only theaters can provide. The growing popularity of special sing-along screenings and theatrical releases of animation series proves that the in-theater experience remains truly unique. Audiences today seek theaters that offer ultimate immersion and an experience that rekindles the magic of cinema. That’s why the phrase “a movie that has to be watched in a theater” still holds true. Amid this shift, Samsung Onyx is redefining the value of theaters through technological innovation and by opening new possibilities for cinematic experiences. The future of cinema that Samsung Onyx envisions is already unfolding — right before our eyes. ▲ With its exceptional image quality and superior space efficiency, Samsung Onyx is shaping the future of cinema.

Digital identity verification has become a rising topic in the current technological landscape. Samsung Wallet allows Samsung Galaxy device users to securely register their state-issued US driver's license in their device, letting them use it as a mobile driver's license (mDL). Through the "Verify with Wallet" (VWW) functionality, Samsung Wallet provides Android developers with the ability to authenticate a user's identity directly from their application by utilizing the user's registered mDL on the device. The implementation of the functionality is based on and is fully compliant with the ISO 18013-5 standard. In this article, we explore the complete process of implementing Verify with Wallet in an Android application. Prerequisites In order to complete the tasks in this article and implement a complete sample application for verifying a user's identity, you need the following: Valid US driver's license or state ID US region Samsung Galaxy device with mDL support Complete the Samsung Wallet Partner onboarding process Understanding the Verify with Wallet process Samsung Wallet offers a native Relying Party (RP) SDK for Android applications. RP SDK is an App2App SDK designed for enabling Samsung Wallet's mDL service in online use cases. By integrating this SDK, you can leverage the VWW functionality within their applications. In your application, you need to create a JSON object for defining the request and a JSON payload for the Relying Party card. Then, you can utilize the RP SDK to create a valid mDoc request using the provided information. Finally, the request needs to be sent to the Samsung Wallet application. In response, Samsung Wallet sends an encrypted response back to the application, which contains the requested information in a CBOR encoded format. The application can then decode the provided data and use it as necessary. Refer to the ISO 18013-5 standard, AAMVA mDL guidelines and the Samsung Wallet documentation for a better understanding of the VWW process. Implementing the Verify with Wallet Functionality in Your Android Application The process of implementing VWW in an Android application includes creating a Relying Party card for Samsung Wallet, downloading and integrating the RP SDK into the Android application and implementing the necessary functions in the Android application for completing the verification process. Creating a Relying Party Wallet Card Template in the Samsung Wallet Partners Portal In order to implement and use the VWW functionality, you need a wallet card of the Relying Party type for this purpose. To create a Relying Party wallet card template: Go to the Samsung Wallet Partners Portal. Select Wallet Card > Create Wallet Cards. From Wallet Card Templates, select Relying Party. Select the applicable Service Location and Authentication Issuer from the Advanced setting section. Make sure to select the proper values for the card, otherwise the verification process may not work. Figure 1: Creating a Relying Party card for VWW Integrating the RP SDK in an Android Application Once the Relying Party card template has been created, we can download and integrate the RP SDK to work with the Android application. Step 1: Download the RP SDK for Android To download the RP SDK: Download the ZIP file containing the latest RP SDK release AAR file from Samsung Wallet Code Resources on the Samsung Developer website. Extract the AAR file from the downloaded ZIP file. Copy and paste the downloaded rp-sdk-x.xx-release.aar file inside a new directory in the Android Studio project (for example, \libs\). Step 2: Add Android Manifest Permissions To implement the Verify with Wallet functionality, the application needs both the Internet access permission and the ability to query the installed Samsung Wallet application. To provide the application with these permissions, open the AndroidManifest.xml file in the Android Studio project and add the following lines: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <queries> <package android:name="com.samsung.android.spay" /> </queries> Step 3: Add Gradle Dependencies In the application's build.gradle file, load the RP SDK AAR file and the necessary additional dependencies for using the SDK, as follows: // Load RP SDK AAR file implementation(files("libs/rp-sdk-1.05-release.aar")) //CBOR decoding dependencies implementation("com.upokecenter:cbor:4.0.1") implementation("com.augustcellars.cose:cose-java:1.1.0") // Other dependencies implementation("com.google.code.gson:gson:2.11.0") implementation("org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15to18:1.66") implementation("com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt:9.37.3") implementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.21") implementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxkotlin:2.4.0") implementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.1.1") implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.11.0") After these steps, the RP SDK is ready for use in your Android application. Configuring the Android Application for Verify with Wallet Next, we need to complete the implementation of the Verify with Wallet functionality in your Android application. Step 1: Build a Card Payload for the Relying Party Card First, we need to create a request payload for the Relying Party card following the specification. private fun buildApp2AppPayload(): String { return PAYLOAD .replace("{refId}", UUID.randomUUID().toString()) .replace("{createdAt}", System.currentTimeMillis().toString()) .replace("{updatedAt}", System.currentTimeMillis().toString()) } private val PAYLOAD = """ { "card": { "type": "relyingparty", "data": [ { "createdAt": {createdAt}, "updatedAt": {updatedAt}, "language": "en", "refId": "{refId}", "attributes": { "clientPackageName": "com.ahsan.verifyappsample", "clientType": "app", "fontColor": "#ffffff", "logoImage": "https://kr-cdn-gpp.mcsvc.samsung.com/mcp25/resource/2024/9/4/b940b7a2-0f55-42ce-8da7-025d50dbb6b7.png", "logoImage.darkUrl": "https://kr-cdn-gpp.mcsvc.samsung.com/mcp25/resource/2024/9/4/b940b7a2-0f55-42ce-8da7-025d50dbb6b7.png", "logoImage.lightUrl": "https://kr-cdn-gpp.mcsvc.samsung.com/mcp25/resource/2024/9/4/b940b7a2-0f55-42ce-8da7-025d50dbb6b7.png", "providerName": "Samsung Verification Sample" } } ] } } """.trimIndent() Step 2: Build the AppLink The AppLink is a tokenized URL that is similar to the CData tokens used for Samsung Wallet cards. The Samsung Wallet RP SDK includes a function to generate the AppLink using the payload and the partner credentials (private key, public key, partner ID, card ID, certificate ID, etc.). To build the AppLink, you can simply call the rpClientApis.buildAppLink() function with the required parameters: val rpClientApis = RpClientApis(this) val appLink = rpClientApis.buildAppLink( partnerId = PARTNER_ID, cardId = CARD_ID, payload = buildApp2AppPayload(), samsungPublicKey = SAMSUNG_CERTIFICATE, partnerPublicKey = PARTNER_CERTIFICATE, partnerPrivateKey = PARTNER_PRIVATE_KEY, partnerCertificateId = CERTIFICATE_ID, isStagingServer = true ) Step 3: Build the Request Data Finally, once the AppLink creation is complete, we can send the verification request using the RP SDK. Before sending the request, we need to specify exactly which information we wish to retrieve. For this purpose, we need to create a JSON document following the ISO 18013-5 specification and specify the fields we wish to retrieve in the response. It is possible to request for the following fields in the request data under the "org.iso.18013.5.1" namespace: portrait family_name given_name document_number age_in_years resident_address birth_date issue_date expiry_date sex height weight_range weight eye_colour hair_colour organ_donor driving_privileges veteran Additionally, it is also possible to request for the following 3 fields, under the "org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva" namespace: domestic_driving_privileges DHS_compliance EDL_credential In our example, we only try to retrieve the following 4 fields: family_name, age_in_years, issue_date, and expiry_date. In the following code example, we build the request string accordingly: val requestData = """ { "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": { "family_name": true, "age_in_years": true, "issue_date": true, "expiry_date": true } } } """.trimIndent() Step 4: Create the OnResponseListener Class When using the VWW RP SDK, it is necessary to create a listener class for both sending the request and for receiving and processing the response from the mDoc server. For our example, let's create an empty placeholder OnResponseListener class which extends the RP SDK's OnResponseListener class. class OnResponseListener(private val requestData: String) : RpClientApis.OnResponseListener{ override fun onGetMdocRequestData(deviceEngagementBytes: ByteArray): ByteArray? { TODO("Not yet implemented") } override fun onMdocResponse(encryptedResponseBytes: ByteArray) { TODO("Not yet implemented") } override fun onMdocResponseFailed(exception: Exception) { Log.e(TAG, "Response processing failed", exception) } } Initiating the Verification Request To initiate the identity verification process, we need to establish a secure session and send a structured request to the Samsung Wallet application. We can use the previously created OnResponseListener class for this purpose. Step 1: Define the onGetMdocRequestData() Function for Sending the Request Data Inside the onGetMdocRequestData() function, we need to do 2 things for establishing a secure encrypted session: Generate an elliptic curve key pair Build session establishment bytes following the ISO-18013-5 specification. Once the key pair is generated, we can use this key pair, the device engagement bytes, and the previously created request data for building the encrypted session establishment bytes. The device engagement bytes are provided automatically inside the onGetMdocRequestData() function by the RP client SDK. private val secureRepository = SecureRepository() override fun onGetMdocRequestData(deviceEngagementBytes: ByteArray): ByteArray? { val keyPair = secureRepository.generateEcKeyPair() val encryptedSessionEstablishmentBytes = secureRepository.buildSessionEstablishment(requestData, deviceEngagementBytes, keyPair) return encryptedSessionEstablishmentBytes!! } For further information regarding generating the key pair and building the session establishment bytes, check the provided sample code. Step 2: Initiate a Verification Request with the AppLink Once the onGetMdocRequestData() function is ready, we can use the request() function to initiate the verification request. val sessionId = UUID.randomUUID().toString() val WALLET_PACKAGE = "com.samsung.android.spay" rpClientApis.request( WALLET_PACKAGE, sessionId, appLink, OnResponseListener(requestData) ) Processing the Request Response Once the mDoc request has been sent and processed successfully, the application should receive a ByteArray as response in the onMdocResponse() function inside the listener class. This ByteArray is an encrypted JSON object. Once decrypted, the response should look like the following: { "documents": [ { "issuerSigned": { "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": [ "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBkU-mZyYW5kb21UaGNkNGduZDl5Z2I1cTRjaDV4ZnpxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJrZXhwaXJ5X2RhdGVsZWxlbWVudFZhbHVlwHQyMDMxLTExLTIxVDA3OjAwOjAwWg", "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBknbWZyYW5kb21Udjg1NmsydzIzZzQ3OHk5cTQ0aHJxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJsYWdlX2luX3llYXJzbGVsZW1lbnRWYWx1ZRgr", "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBlvWWZyYW5kb21UbnRtdnJ5OXlucXcyZjY2bmp2NXRxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJqaXNzdWVfZGF0ZWxlbGVtZW50VmFsdWXAdDIwMjMtMTEtMDhUMDc6MDA6MDBa", "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBnXQWZyYW5kb21UOXJqd2NydjZ6cXpqZm1xajNkcnhxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJrZmFtaWx5X25hbWVsZWxlbWVudFZhbHVlZUFoc2Fu" ] }, "issuerAuth": [ "dCBa", { "33": "..." }, "...", "..." ] }, "deviceSigned": {…}, "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL" } ], "version": "1.0", "status": 0 } The values inside the org.iso.18013.5.1 JSON Array are the information we requested, in the CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) format. For example, if we decode the value: "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBlvWWZyYW5kb21UbnRtdnJ5OXlucXcyZjY2bmp2NXRxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJqaXNzdWVfZGF0ZWxlbGVtZW50VmFsdWXAdDIwMjMtMTEtMDhUMDc6MDA6MDBa", we find that this CBOR object contains the issue_date field and its value is 2023-11-08T07:00:00.000Z. Similarly, every value provided in the array is a CBOR object that can be decoded using CBOR decoders to find a key-value pair containing the requested information. We can now receive the mDoc response in the onMdocResponse() function and decode it to retrieve the final requested values: override fun onMdocResponse(encryptedResponseBytes: ByteArray) { val plainResponse = secureRepository.decryptMdocResponse(encryptedResponseBytes) Log.i(TAG, "plainResponse=${plainResponse?.toPrettyJson()}") val mDocContent = Mdoc18013Utils.parseMdocResponse(plainResponse!!) mDocContent.forEach { (key, value) -> Log.i(TAG, "$key: $value") } } Here, secureRepository.decryptMdocResponse() performs the decryption operation and converts the encrypted bytes into a plain JSON response. Afterwards, the Mdoc18013Utils.parseMdocResponse() function takes the plain response and decodes each CBOR-encoded element contained in the org.iso.18013.5.1 array and returns these values in a simplified dictionary of key-value pairs. If you wish to learn more about these functions, you can check out the provided sample code. With this step, the sample application's implementation of Verify with Wallet is complete. You can now build and run the application. In the sample application, once the user clicks the "Verify with Samsung Wallet" button, the VWW procedure is initiated. Once the user confirms that they wish to share their information, the application will receive the requested information about the user. Figure 2: Complete the verification process using VWW Conclusion In this article, we have explored how you can integrate the Verify with Wallet RP SDK directly into your application and use it to verify the user's identity.

Digital identity verification has become a rising topic in the current technological landscape. Samsung Wallet allows Samsung Galaxy device users to securely register their state-issued US driver's license in their device, letting them use it as a mobile driver's license (mDL). Through the "Verify with Wallet" (VWW) functionality, Samsung Wallet provides Android developers with the ability to authenticate a user's identity directly from their application by utilizing the user's registered mDL on the device. The implementation of the functionality is based on and is fully compliant with the ISO 18013-5 standard. In this article, we explore the complete process of implementing Verify with Wallet in an Android application. Prerequisites In order to complete the tasks in this article and implement a complete sample application for verifying a user's identity, you need the following: Valid US driver's license or state ID US region Samsung Galaxy device with mDL support Complete the Samsung Wallet Partner onboarding process Understanding the Verify with Wallet process Samsung Wallet offers a native Relying Party (RP) SDK for Android applications. RP SDK is an App2App SDK designed for enabling Samsung Wallet's mDL service in online use cases. By integrating this SDK, you can leverage the VWW functionality within their applications. In your application, you need to create a JSON object for defining the request and a JSON payload for the Relying Party card. Then, you can utilize the RP SDK to create a valid mDoc request using the provided information. Finally, the request needs to be sent to the Samsung Wallet application. In response, Samsung Wallet sends an encrypted response back to the application, which contains the requested information in a CBOR encoded format. The application can then decode the provided data and use it as necessary. Refer to the ISO 18013-5 standard, AAMVA mDL guidelines and the Samsung Wallet documentation for a better understanding of the VWW process. Implementing the Verify with Wallet Functionality in Your Android Application The process of implementing VWW in an Android application includes creating a Relying Party card for Samsung Wallet, downloading and integrating the RP SDK into the Android application and implementing the necessary functions in the Android application for completing the verification process. Creating a Relying Party Wallet Card Template in the Samsung Wallet Partners Portal In order to implement and use the VWW functionality, you need a wallet card of the Relying Party type for this purpose. To create a Relying Party wallet card template: Go to the Samsung Wallet Partners Portal. Select Wallet Card > Create Wallet Cards. From Wallet Card Templates, select Relying Party. Select the applicable Service Location and Authentication Issuer from the Advanced setting section. Make sure to select the proper values for the card, otherwise the verification process may not work. Figure 1: Creating a Relying Party card for VWW Integrating the RP SDK in an Android Application Once the Relying Party card template has been created, we can download and integrate the RP SDK to work with the Android application. Step 1: Download the RP SDK for Android To download the RP SDK: Download the ZIP file containing the latest RP SDK release AAR file from Samsung Wallet Code Resources on the Samsung Developer website. Extract the AAR file from the downloaded ZIP file. Copy and paste the downloaded rp-sdk-x.xx-release.aar file inside a new directory in the Android Studio project (for example, \libs\). Step 2: Add Android Manifest Permissions To implement the Verify with Wallet functionality, the application needs both the Internet access permission and the ability to query the installed Samsung Wallet application. To provide the application with these permissions, open the AndroidManifest.xml file in the Android Studio project and add the following lines: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <queries> <package android:name="com.samsung.android.spay" /> </queries> Step 3: Add Gradle Dependencies In the application's build.gradle file, load the RP SDK AAR file and the necessary additional dependencies for using the SDK, as follows: // Load RP SDK AAR file implementation(files("libs/rp-sdk-1.05-release.aar")) //CBOR decoding dependencies implementation("com.upokecenter:cbor:4.0.1") implementation("com.augustcellars.cose:cose-java:1.1.0") // Other dependencies implementation("com.google.code.gson:gson:2.11.0") implementation("org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15to18:1.66") implementation("com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt:9.37.3") implementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.21") implementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxkotlin:2.4.0") implementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.1.1") implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.11.0") After these steps, the RP SDK is ready for use in your Android application. Configuring the Android Application for Verify with Wallet Next, we need to complete the implementation of the Verify with Wallet functionality in your Android application. Step 1: Build a Card Payload for the Relying Party Card First, we need to create a request payload for the Relying Party card following the specification. private fun buildApp2AppPayload(): String { return PAYLOAD .replace("{refId}", UUID.randomUUID().toString()) .replace("{createdAt}", System.currentTimeMillis().toString()) .replace("{updatedAt}", System.currentTimeMillis().toString()) } private val PAYLOAD = """ { "card": { "type": "relyingparty", "data": [ { "createdAt": {createdAt}, "updatedAt": {updatedAt}, "language": "en", "refId": "{refId}", "attributes": { "clientPackageName": "com.ahsan.verifyappsample", "clientType": "app", "fontColor": "#ffffff", "logoImage": "https://kr-cdn-gpp.mcsvc.samsung.com/mcp25/resource/2024/9/4/b940b7a2-0f55-42ce-8da7-025d50dbb6b7.png", "logoImage.darkUrl": "https://kr-cdn-gpp.mcsvc.samsung.com/mcp25/resource/2024/9/4/b940b7a2-0f55-42ce-8da7-025d50dbb6b7.png", "logoImage.lightUrl": "https://kr-cdn-gpp.mcsvc.samsung.com/mcp25/resource/2024/9/4/b940b7a2-0f55-42ce-8da7-025d50dbb6b7.png", "providerName": "Samsung Verification Sample" } } ] } } """.trimIndent() Step 2: Build the AppLink The AppLink is a tokenized URL that is similar to the CData tokens used for Samsung Wallet cards. The Samsung Wallet RP SDK includes a function to generate the AppLink using the payload and the partner credentials (private key, public key, partner ID, card ID, certificate ID, etc.). To build the AppLink, you can simply call the rpClientApis.buildAppLink() function with the required parameters: val rpClientApis = RpClientApis(this) val appLink = rpClientApis.buildAppLink( partnerId = PARTNER_ID, cardId = CARD_ID, payload = buildApp2AppPayload(), samsungPublicKey = SAMSUNG_CERTIFICATE, partnerPublicKey = PARTNER_CERTIFICATE, partnerPrivateKey = PARTNER_PRIVATE_KEY, partnerCertificateId = CERTIFICATE_ID, isStagingServer = true ) Step 3: Build the Request Data Finally, once the AppLink creation is complete, we can send the verification request using the RP SDK. Before sending the request, we need to specify exactly which information we wish to retrieve. For this purpose, we need to create a JSON document following the ISO 18013-5 specification and specify the fields we wish to retrieve in the response. It is possible to request for the following fields in the request data under the "org.iso.18013.5.1" namespace: portrait family_name given_name document_number age_in_years resident_address birth_date issue_date expiry_date sex height weight_range weight eye_colour hair_colour organ_donor driving_privileges veteran Additionally, it is also possible to request for the following 3 fields, under the "org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva" namespace: domestic_driving_privileges DHS_compliance EDL_credential In our example, we only try to retrieve the following 4 fields: family_name, age_in_years, issue_date, and expiry_date. In the following code example, we build the request string accordingly: val requestData = """ { "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": { "family_name": true, "age_in_years": true, "issue_date": true, "expiry_date": true } } } """.trimIndent() Step 4: Create the OnResponseListener Class When using the VWW RP SDK, it is necessary to create a listener class for both sending the request and for receiving and processing the response from the mDoc server. For our example, let's create an empty placeholder OnResponseListener class which extends the RP SDK's OnResponseListener class. class OnResponseListener(private val requestData: String) : RpClientApis.OnResponseListener{ override fun onGetMdocRequestData(deviceEngagementBytes: ByteArray): ByteArray? { TODO("Not yet implemented") } override fun onMdocResponse(encryptedResponseBytes: ByteArray) { TODO("Not yet implemented") } override fun onMdocResponseFailed(exception: Exception) { Log.e(TAG, "Response processing failed", exception) } } Initiating the Verification Request To initiate the identity verification process, we need to establish a secure session and send a structured request to the Samsung Wallet application. We can use the previously created OnResponseListener class for this purpose. Step 1: Define the onGetMdocRequestData() Function for Sending the Request Data Inside the onGetMdocRequestData() function, we need to do 2 things for establishing a secure encrypted session: Generate an elliptic curve key pair Build session establishment bytes following the ISO-18013-5 specification. Once the key pair is generated, we can use this key pair, the device engagement bytes, and the previously created request data for building the encrypted session establishment bytes. The device engagement bytes are provided automatically inside the onGetMdocRequestData() function by the RP client SDK. private val secureRepository = SecureRepository() override fun onGetMdocRequestData(deviceEngagementBytes: ByteArray): ByteArray? { val keyPair = secureRepository.generateEcKeyPair() val encryptedSessionEstablishmentBytes = secureRepository.buildSessionEstablishment(requestData, deviceEngagementBytes, keyPair) return encryptedSessionEstablishmentBytes!! } For further information regarding generating the key pair and building the session establishment bytes, check the provided sample code. Step 2: Initiate a Verification Request with the AppLink Once the onGetMdocRequestData() function is ready, we can use the request() function to initiate the verification request. val sessionId = UUID.randomUUID().toString() val WALLET_PACKAGE = "com.samsung.android.spay" rpClientApis.request( WALLET_PACKAGE, sessionId, appLink, OnResponseListener(requestData) ) Processing the Request Response Once the mDoc request has been sent and processed successfully, the application should receive a ByteArray as response in the onMdocResponse() function inside the listener class. This ByteArray is an encrypted JSON object. Once decrypted, the response should look like the following: { "documents": [ { "issuerSigned": { "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": [ "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBkU-mZyYW5kb21UaGNkNGduZDl5Z2I1cTRjaDV4ZnpxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJrZXhwaXJ5X2RhdGVsZWxlbWVudFZhbHVlwHQyMDMxLTExLTIxVDA3OjAwOjAwWg", "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBknbWZyYW5kb21Udjg1NmsydzIzZzQ3OHk5cTQ0aHJxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJsYWdlX2luX3llYXJzbGVsZW1lbnRWYWx1ZRgr", "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBlvWWZyYW5kb21UbnRtdnJ5OXlucXcyZjY2bmp2NXRxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJqaXNzdWVfZGF0ZWxlbGVtZW50VmFsdWXAdDIwMjMtMTEtMDhUMDc6MDA6MDBa", "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBnXQWZyYW5kb21UOXJqd2NydjZ6cXpqZm1xajNkcnhxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJrZmFtaWx5X25hbWVsZWxlbWVudFZhbHVlZUFoc2Fu" ] }, "issuerAuth": [ "dCBa", { "33": "..." }, "...", "..." ] }, "deviceSigned": {…}, "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL" } ], "version": "1.0", "status": 0 } The values inside the org.iso.18013.5.1 JSON Array are the information we requested, in the CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) format. For example, if we decode the value: "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBlvWWZyYW5kb21UbnRtdnJ5OXlucXcyZjY2bmp2NXRxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJqaXNzdWVfZGF0ZWxlbGVtZW50VmFsdWXAdDIwMjMtMTEtMDhUMDc6MDA6MDBa", we find that this CBOR object contains the issue_date field and its value is 2023-11-08T07:00:00.000Z. Similarly, every value provided in the array is a CBOR object that can be decoded using CBOR decoders to find a key-value pair containing the requested information. We can now receive the mDoc response in the onMdocResponse() function and decode it to retrieve the final requested values: override fun onMdocResponse(encryptedResponseBytes: ByteArray) { val plainResponse = secureRepository.decryptMdocResponse(encryptedResponseBytes) Log.i(TAG, "plainResponse=${plainResponse?.toPrettyJson()}") val mDocContent = Mdoc18013Utils.parseMdocResponse(plainResponse!!) mDocContent.forEach { (key, value) -> Log.i(TAG, "$key: $value") } } Here, secureRepository.decryptMdocResponse() performs the decryption operation and converts the encrypted bytes into a plain JSON response.

Across the globe, Samsung’s professional display showrooms serve as launchpads for business innovation. Each space is designed to meet local market needs, fostering collaboration between clients and Samsung experts. Building on the story of Samsung’s Connected Experience Center in Irvine, California, the Frankfurt showroom provides a distinctly pan-European platform where ideas are tested, and Samsung’s vision of innovating displays beyond boundaries becomes reality. Since opening in 2018, Samsung’s Showcase & Training Centre in Frankfurt (the Frankfurt showroom) has played a central role in the region’s B2B strategy. What began as a space focused on LED technology has evolved into a full-scale engagement hub that highlights Samsung’s latest innovations — from The Wall and Cinema LED Onyx to Color E-Paper, Spatial Signage, various AI solutions, and VXT — the company’s cloud-native CMS for digital signage. ▲ The Frankfurt showroom offers an engaging environment where clients can explore Samsung’s latest display innovations and collaborative solutions. At the showroom, clients are guided through immersive demonstrations that go beyond product features. The space allows decision-makers to see real-world solutions in action, align stakeholders, and move quickly from idea to execution. Samsung Newsroom spoke with four members of the European business to learn more about the company’s professional display business. ▲ (From left) Erica Cassells, Event Manager (Europe); Joachim Wieczorek, Head of Sales LED Signage (Germany); Anna Mindnich, Head of B2B Marketing CE (Germany); and Steven Pollok, Director of Display Division (Germany). From Showcase to Ecosystem: A Strategic Hub for European Display The showroom has transformed into a working strategy lab where Samsung presents not just products, but integrated ecosystems. The evolution happened as clients are increasingly interested in platform compatibility, wireless sharing, and end-to-end security. Now with Samsung’s VXT solution, for example, visitors can see firsthand how digital signage content is scheduled, distributed, and monitored seamlessly. “Clients rarely come in looking for a single screen,” said Joachim Wieczorek, Head of LED Sales. “They want confidence in a solution — and that means seeing how the technology works, how it fits into their environment, and how it’s supported long-term.” Another trend is that clients increasingly want to understand Samsung’s broader ecosystem and its security model — especially in corporate and public sector environments. “When it comes to sensitive data or high-security environments, that control matters,” Wieczorek said. “We often hear from clients that they want fewer third parties involved — and the showroom gives them a chance to see how our full stack works together.” ▲ Joachim Wieczorek, Head of LED Sales in Germany, guides clients through Samsung’s flagship LED solutions. This approach has reshaped client engagements. Materna, a German IT and service management firm, initially came to view a single LED wall. After experiencing the full ecosystem, the team found opportunities to leverage a solution, rather than a single product, to increase business operation value. Materna left with a comprehensive vision that included LED, LCD, and Samsung VXT — an integrated solution that demonstrated the value of end-to-end collaboration with Samsung. “The focus is no longer on resolution or price — it becomes about performance, scalability, and the confidence that Samsung can deliver,” Wieczorek added. ▲ Materna uses Samsung displays to create welcoming reception areas (left) and dynamic presentation spaces (right) that support collaboration and client engagement. Toyota Motor also turned to the Frankfurt showroom to explore a unified digital transformation across its dealership network. The visit repositioned Samsung from vendor to strategic partner, demonstrating capabilities in standardization, streamlined procurement, and scalability across regions. ▲ Toyota delivers a consistent brand experience with 23,000 Samsung Smart Signage displays installed across 1,250 dealerships in 40 countries. For AEG, one of Germany’s largest live entertainment groups, an initial meeting about Berlin’s Uber Arena expanded into a larger partnership, eventually leading to installations at Hamburg’s Barclays Arena and a broader marketing collaboration. “That visit was a turning point,” said Anna Mindnich, Head of B2B Marketing CE. “It helped us build trust and ultimately grow the relationship into something much bigger.”  ▲ Berlin’s Uber Arena, operated by AEG, features Samsung’s curved LED signage — a partnership that later expanded to additional venues including Hamburg’s Barclays Arena. Introducing Innovation: Helping the Industry Move Forward From dedicated planner days for educators to retail walkthroughs and corporate demos, the Frankfurt showroom delivers experiences that make Samsung’s technology feel both tangible and tailored to each client’s unique needs. ▲ Samsung’s 4K Smart Signage lineup, ranging from 32” to 98”, is displayed side by side at the Frankfurt showroom. Retail and corporate clients are especially drawn to Samsung’s Color E-Paper, which combines dynamic signage capabilities with ultra-low power consumption. From wayfinding to room signage and environmental design, Mindnich noted that many clients discover new applications during their visit. ▲ Samsung Color E-Paper offers a next-gen signage solution with ultra-low power consumption. Featuring a sleek and lightweight design, it is a more sustainable and flexible display alternative for businesses. At the heart of the showroom is The Wall, Samsung’s modular MICRO LED display. Its fine pitch and flexibility allow for unique applications, from corporate lobbies to automotive design studios. Samsung’s Cinema LED Onyx was recently introduced in response to demand for immersive large-format displays in the entertainment industry. Steven Pollok, Director of Display Division, notes that the corporate sector remains one of the largest verticals for LED business in Europe, especially when it comes to all-in-one screens for lobby displays and luxury lifestyle brands’ boardrooms. “In several cases, seeing is believing. After visiting the showroom and experiencing the entire lineup of Samsung’s signage and solutions, clients can get internal buy-in more quickly to turn a visit into a full-scale project with our integrated offerings,” Pollok said. ▲ Pollok explains Samsung’s MicroLED technology (left), with The Wall showcased in multiple configurations from 0.84mm to 1.64mm at the Frankfurt showroom (right). Pollok also notes that visits to the Frankfurt showroom are deeply integrated into Samsung’s regional sales strategy. Many installations across Europe begin with a hands-on visit, often hosted in collaboration with a channel partner. “It helps customers understand what’s possible — and helps our partners communicate that in their own markets,” Pollok explains. ▲ Samsung Onyx, the world’s first DCI-certified cinema LED, delivers true black levels, infinite contrast, and exceptional color accuracy. The latest Onyx (ICD model) launched at CineEurope 2025. Clients can also experience Samsung’s Spatial Signage, another recent innovation, in Frankfurt. This slim and lightweight display creates realistic 3D depth without the need for 3D glasses. This innovation was recognized as IFA 2025 Innovation Award Honoree. ▲ Erica Cassells highlights Spatial Signage, a sleek solution for creating engaging, glasses-free 3D experiences. For All Europe: Where Ideas Become Action As the only pan-European display space of its kind, the European Display Showcase & Training Centre hosts clients and teams from across the continent for immersive workshops, events, and consultations. “We built this as a European showcase for a reason,” adds Erica Cassells, Event Manager. “Subsidiaries and customers come here for internal reviews, launch briefings, or just to see what’s possible. It gives us a first look at how new products are landing with real customers.” ▲ Samsung reps pose in front of the European Display Showcase & Training Centre in Frankfurt, Germany. The Frankfurt showroom embodies Samsung’s mission to provide immersive, consultative environments that reflect local market needs. More than a static demo space, the showroom operates as a collaborative hub where clients test content, compare technologies, and design rollouts alongside Samsung experts. “Our customers know this isn’t just a showroom,” Cassells said. “It’s a signal that we’re committed to their future — and ready to grow with them.” With innovations like MICRO LED, Spatial Signage, Color E-Paper, and the Cinema LED Onyx, the Frankfurt showroom continues to drive the next wave of digital transformation across Europe. By the time clients leave, they don’t just see new technology — they see what’s possible for their business. View the full article

Samsung Wallet Partners can create and update card templates to meet their business needs through the Wallet Partners Portal. However, if the partner has a large number of cards, it can become difficult to manage them using the Wallet Partners Portal website. To provide partners with more flexibility, Samsung provides server APIs so that partners can easily create and modify Samsung Wallet card templates without using the Wallet Partners Portal. With these APIs, partners can also create their own user interface (UI) or dashboard to manage their cards. In this article, we implement the Add Wallet Card Templates API to create a card template for a Coupon in the Wallet Partners Portal. We focus on the API implementation only and do not create a UI for card management. Prerequisites If you are new to Samsung Wallet, complete the onboarding process and get the necessary certificates. As a Samsung Wallet Partner, you need permission to use this API. Only authorized partners are allowed to create wallet card templates using this API. You can reach out to Samsung Developer Support for further assistance. API overview The REST API discussed in this article provides an interface to add wallet card templates directly from the partner's server. This API utilizes a base URL, specific headers, and a well-structured body to ensure seamless integration. URL: This is the endpoint where the request is sent to create a new wallet card template. https://tsapi-card.walletsvc.samsung.com/partner/v1/card/template Headers: The information provided in the headers ensures secure communication between the partner's server and Samsung's server. Authorization: The Bearer token. See the JSON Web Token documentation for details. X-smcs-partner-id: This is your partner ID. The partner ID gives you permission to use the API. X-request-id: Use a randomly generated UUID string in this field. Body: The body must be in the JWT token format. Convert the payload data (card template in JSON format) into a JWT token. For more details about the API, refer to the documentation. Implementation of the API to create a card template The Add Wallet Card Templates API allows you to add a new card template to the Wallet Partners Portal. You can also create the card in the portal directly, but this API generates a new card template from your server, without requiring you to launch the Wallet Partners Portal. Follow these steps to add a new card template. Step 1: Extracting the keys Extract the following keys from the certificates. These keys are used while generating the JWT token. RSAPublicKey partnerPublicKey = (RSAPublicKey) readPublicKey("partner.crt"); RSAPublicKey samsungPublicKey = (RSAPublicKey) readPublicKey("samsung.crt"); PrivateKey partnerPrivateKey = readPrivateKey("private_key.pem"); Extracting the public keys Use the following code to extract the partner public key and the Samsung public key from the partner.crt and samsung.crt certificate files, respectively. You received these certificate files during the onboarding process. private static PublicKey readPublicKey(String fileName) throws Exception { // Load the certificate file from resources ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(fileName); try (InputStream in = resource.getInputStream()) { CertificateFactory certFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509"); X509Certificate certificate = (X509Certificate) certFactory.generateCertificate(in); return certificate.getPublicKey(); } } Extracting the private key The following code extracts the private key from the .pem file you generated during the onboarding process. This key is needed to build the auth token. private static PrivateKey readPrivateKey(String fileName) throws Exception { String key = new String(Files.readAllBytes(new ClassPathResource(fileName).getFile().toPath())); key = key.replace("-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----", "").replace("-----END PRIVATE KEY-----", "").replaceAll("\\s", ""); byte[] keyBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(key); KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA"); return keyFactory.generatePrivate(new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(keyBytes)); } Step 2: Generating the authorization token Samsung's server checks the authorization token of the API request to ensure the request is from an authorized partner. The authorization token is in the JWT format. Follow these steps to create an authorization token: Building the auth header Create an authHeader. Set “AUTH” as its payload content type to mark it as an authorization token. As you can create multiple certificates, use the corresponding certificate ID of the certificate that you use in the project. You can get the certificate ID from “My account > Encryption Management” of the Wallet Partners Portal. // create auth header JSONObject authHeader = new JSONObject(); authHeader.put("cty", "AUTH"); authHeader.put("ver", 3); authHeader.put("certificateId", certificateId); authHeader.put("partnerId", partnerId); authHeader.put("utc", utcTimestamp); authHeader.put("alg", "RS256"); Creating the payload Create the payload using the authHeader. Follow this code snippet to create the payload. // create auth payload JSONObject authPayload = new JSONObject(); authPayload.put("API", new JSONObject().put("method", "POST").put("path", "/partner/v1/card/template")); authPayload.put("refId", UUID.randomUUID().toString()); Building the auth token Finally, generate the authorization token. For more details, refer to the “Authorization Token” section of the Security page private static String generateAuthToken(String partnerId, String certificateId, long utcTimestamp, PrivateKey privateKey) throws Exception { // create auth header // create auth payload // return auth token return Jwts.builder() .setHeader(authHeader.toMap()) .setPayload(authPayload.toString()) .signWith(privateKey, SignatureAlgorithm.RS256) .compact(); } Step 3: Generating a payload object token The request body contains a parameter named “ctemplate” which is a JWT token. Follow these steps to create the “ctemplate.” Creating the card template object Select the proper card template you want to create from the Card Specs documentation. Get the payload object as JSON format. Now create the JSONObject from the JSON file using the following code snippet. // creating card template object JSONObject cDataPayload = new JSONObject(); cDataPayload.put("cardTemplate", new JSONObject() .put("prtnrId", partnerId) .put("title", "Sample Card") .put("countryCode", "KR") .put("cardType", "coupon") .put("subType", "others") .put("saveInServerYn", "Y")); Generating the JWE token Create the JWE token using the following code snippet. For more details about the JWE format, refer to the “Card Data Token” section of the Security page. // JWE payload generation EncryptionMethod jweEnc = EncryptionMethod.A128GCM; JWEAlgorithm jweAlg = JWEAlgorithm.RSA1_5; JWEHeader jweHeader = new JWEHeader.Builder(jweAlg, jweEnc).build(); RSAEncrypter encryptor = new RSAEncrypter((RSAPublicKey) samsungPublicKey); JWEObject jwe = new JWEObject(jweHeader, new Payload(String.valueOf(cDataPayload))); try { jwe.encrypt(encryptor); } catch (JOSEException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } String payload = jwe.serialize(); Building the JWS header Next, follow this code snippet to build the JWS header. Set “CARD” as the payload content type in this header. // JWS Header JWSHeader jwsHeader = new JWSHeader.Builder(JWSAlgorithm.RS256) .contentType("CARD") .customParam("partnerId", partnerId) .customParam("ver", 3) .customParam("certificateId", certificateId) .customParam("utc", utcTimestamp) .build(); Building the JWS token Generate the JWS token from the previously generated JWE token and, finally, get the “ctemplate” JWT. Follow the “JWS Format” section of the Security page. private static String generateCDataToken(String partnerId, PublicKey partnerPublicKey, PublicKey samsungPublicKey, PrivateKey partnerPrivateKey, String certificateId, long utcTimestamp) throws Exception { // creating card template object // JWE payload generation // JWS Header // JWS Token generation JWSObject jwsObj = new JWSObject(jwsHeader, new Payload(payload)); RSAKey rsaJWK = new RSAKey.Builder((RSAPublicKey) partnerPublicKey) .privateKey(partnerPrivateKey) .build(); JWSSigner signer = new RSASSASigner( ); jwsObj.sign(signer); return jwsObj.serialize(); } Step 4: Building the request As all of the required fields to create the request have been generated, you can now create the request to add a new template. Follow the code snippet to generate the request. private static Request buildRequest(String endpoint, String partnerId, String requestId, String authToken, String cDataToken) { // Prepare JSON body JSONObject cDataJsonBody = new JSONObject(); cDataJsonBody.put("ctemplate", cDataToken); RequestBody requestBody = RequestBody.create( MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8"), cDataJsonBody.toString() ); // Build HTTP Request Request request = new Request.Builder() .url(endpoint) .post(requestBody) .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + authToken) .addHeader("x-smcs-partner-id", partnerId) .addHeader("x-request-id", requestId) .addHeader("x-smcs-cc2", "KR") .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json") .build(); return request; } Step 5: Executing the request If the request is successful, a new card is added to the Wallet Partners Portal and its “cardId” value is returned as a response. private static void executeRequest(Request request) { // Execute HTTP Request try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) { if (response.isSuccessful()) { System.out.println("Wallet Card Template added successfully: " + response.body().string()); } else { System.out.println("Failed to add Wallet Card Template: " + response.body().string()); } } } Implement as a server At this point, you can add a webpage UI for creating card templates and deploy it as a web service. In this sample project, there is no UI added. But, you can deploy this sample as a web service and test it. Conclusion This tutorial shows you how you can create a new Samsung Wallet card template directly from your server by using a REST API. Now that you can implement the API, you can add a UI and make it more user-friendly. Also implement the Updating Wallet Cards Templates API for better card management.

Learn more Predicting High-Precision Depth on Low-Precision Devices Using 2D Hilbert Curves Samsung R&D Institute Ukraine has proposed a new method to achieve high-precision depth prediction even in environments with strong limitations on hardware capabilities. While computing and memory constraints on existing low-end devices often faced accuracy issues in depth maps, the team used depth representations as points on a 2D Hilbert curve to minimize the data precision loss that occurs during the quantization process. This approach allows precise depth prediction even on low-precision mobile, IoT, and robotics devices. This broadens its potential applications across different areas, including AR/VR, autonomous driving, robotics, etc. On the Samsung Research blog, you can find out more about the research that enables high-precision deep learning models to run efficiently on low-end devices. Learn more Zero Trust Architecture for 6G Most traditional security systems have relied on perimeter-based approaches, such as firewalls, VPNs, and DMZs. In today's ever more open and complex world, however, this is no longer sufficient to defend against a variety of risks, including insider attacks and the compromise of trusted components. Many organizations are already moving toward a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which continuously verifies users and devices to authorize access even inside the network. Samsung Research conducts an in-depth analysis on the need for ZTA in 6G environments and its potential applications, suggesting methods to safeguard sensitive data and critical assets through continuous monitoring and validation, strict access control, dynamic policy enforcement, and more. On our blog, you can find out more about Samsung Research's efforts to build a more resilient and secure 6G infrastructure in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Orchestrating displays for a business is no small feat. Displays are important as they play a key role in setting the tone and coordinating interaction in a physical space. However, each business has unique needs and it can get mind-boggling to find optimal solutions from the vast array of options available. Samsung’s professional display showrooms across the globe help business owners and managers tackle this task by providing access to its broad portfolio of cutting-edge display solutions as well as expertise in designing experiences around them. ▲ The Samsung Connected Experience Center in Irvine, California The Samsung Connected Experience Center (CEC) in Irvine, California is a 7,500-square-foot platform for discovery and business transformation. Here, clients and Samsung experts work side by side to turn vision into strategy and strategy into deployment. At the heart of the CEC’s mission is a focus on understanding each client’s needs and delivering solutions that maximize business impact. Organizations from hospitality, entertainment, retail, education, government, and other sectors partner with Samsung to develop future-ready strategies and unlock new opportunities. ▲ The LED demo zone at CEC Irvine Discovering Display: Where Technology Becomes Tangible For Lupe Verdin, B2B Visual Display CAD (Consultant, Architect, Designer) Liaison, the CEC is a place where technology finally becomes tangible. “You can’t always explain with words what must be experienced with eyes,” she notes. “From the moment clients arrive, they’re welcomed and guided through a full, hands-on journey of what our technology can offer. At this point, the unmatchable picture quality and service becomes clear — it’s something that’s hard to match elsewhere.” ▲ Lupe Verdin in a CEC Irvine showroom A recent example shows how powerful this experience can be. What began as a visit to compare a 98-inch display quickly evolved into a broader vision: “The client ended up expanding their project to seven LED walls for conference rooms, a showroom, and a security operations center. Seeing their own images and videos on our displays — especially the 0.9mm COB (Chip On Board) LED — the clients identified new opportunities. Seeing the technology in person helps realize how advanced displays can transform spaces and user experiences.” ▲ Multiple LED Formats with Varying Pixel Pitches on Display at CEC Irvine A key differentiator for the CEC is the ability to showcase the full breadth of Samsung’s portfolio in one place. Clients can compare indoor, outdoor, and specialty LED solutions side by side — offering a realistic preview of how their own content comes to life on Samsung’s displays. “Other showrooms don’t offer the same breadth of technology.” Optimizing Business Value: Where Challenges Meet Solutions ▲ Noor Armar in hospitality demo zone at CEC Irvine Noor Armar, Solution Enablement Manager at Samsung’s North America Display Office (NADO), describes the CEC as a place where business challenges are addressed in real time. The CEC provides a low-risk, immersive environment to test ideas, explore trends, and co-design solutions aligned with strategic goals. “Irvine CEC is a great place to provide live demonstrations on how our display solutions can be tailored to a client’s needs and add real value to their business,” Armar says. “Seeing the belief in our customers’ eyes after they experience our products hands-on is probably my favorite part.” ▲ Hospitality zone at CEC Irvine features a SmartThings Pro demo For example, the SmartThings Pro showcase helps clients in hospitality, retail, and cruise lines explore new guest journeys and operational models. Based on data aggregation and AI-driven automation, SmartThings Pro enables seamless, personalized guest experiences such as automatic check-in, adaptive lighting, climate control, and personalized streaming — all managed through a single, integrated platform. “Efficiency and guest satisfaction don’t have to be trade-offs. Our role is to help clients understand the value of integrated platforms, even when the underlying technology is invisible to guests,” said Armar. ▲ The CEC in Irvine features a new 5-meter Onyx Cinema LED screen, unveiled July 2025(left) as well as an The Wall for Virtual Production.

The dumpstate log on Galaxy Watch running Wear OS powered by Samsung is a detailed system diagnostic report that captures everything happening on the watch at a specific moment. Samsung Developers or Samsung support can use it to troubleshoot issues (like application crashes, lag, excessive battery drain, or sensor failures), crucial operations, and application failures that can’t be diagnosed from application logs alone. In short, the dumpstate log is the go-to tool for deep debugging and capturing everything from application behavior to hardware status in one file. The purpose of this tutorial is to discuss the procedure of collecting dumpstate logs on Galaxy Watch with or without a connected mobile phone. This tutorial demonstrates three processes of generating a log from your Galaxy Watch: Generate a watch dump from Galaxy Watch Generate a watch dump from a connected Galaxy phone Generate a watch dump using the Galaxy Wearable application Prerequisites If you are using an operating system that uses One UI 6 or newer (Android version 14), disable the auto blocker before collecting the log. Before proceeding with one of the options below, make sure Developer Mode on your watch is enabled, which gives access to the Developer options menu. To enable Developer Mode: a) Go to Settings > About watch > Software information. b) Tap on Software version 5 times. This enables Developer Mode and makes Developer options visible in the Settings. After successfully enabling Developer Mode, a toast message also appears on the screen. Figure 1: Enabling Developer Options from Settings Option 1: Generate a Watch Dump from Galaxy Watch NoteIt is not mandatory to maintain connection with your phone during this process. a) Go to Call and dial *#9900#. The SysDump tool will be launched. Scroll down and select DELETE DUMPSTATE/LOGCAT. Figure 2: Deleting the dumpstate log b) Dial *#9900# again. In the SysDump tool window, select DEBUG LEVEL DISABLED/LOW and set it to MID. This restarts the watch. Figure 3: Setting the debug level to MID c) Reproduce the issue/scenario you want to capture in your log. d) Dial *#9900#, select RUN DUMPSTATE/LOGCAT, and wait a few minutes until it finishes. You will be redirected to the System Dump Tool. Figure 4: Running and saving the dumpstate log e) When the process is finished, select COPY TO SD CARD (INCLUDE CP RAMDUMP). The log file is saved to the watch’s internal storage. Figure 5: Copy to SD card f) In the main (root) directory of the watch's file system, look for the “log” directory, which contains the newly generated dumpstate log file. The file has the name format: "dumpstate_WATCH MODEL_TIMESTAMP". Collect the Log File from Galaxy Watch Connect your watch with the PC. Follow the section “Use the command line” from the Connecting Galaxy Watch to Watch Face Studio over Wi-Fi guide to set up a connection between your watch and PC using ADB. No active internet connection is required. Just make sure both your PC and watch are on the same network (check both IPs for confirmation). You can collect the generated log in two ways: Using the PC UI: After connecting the watch to the PC, in the internal storage of your watch, you will find the "log" file. Compress the file and share it with the support team if asked. Figure 6: Connect the watch to your PC and collect the log folder from storage Using ADB and CLI: Use the following commands in the command prompt to collect the log: Check if the log file is saved or not- adb shell ls /sdcard Figure 7: Check the log file existence You will see the log file in the list (see figure 7). If you skipped the step “COPY TO SD CARD (INCLUDE CP RAMDUMP)” in the previous section, then no log file will be listed and the message “No such file or directory” is shown instead. Pull the log to your PC storage- adb pull /sdcard/log Figure 8: Pull the log from your Galaxy Watch to your PC This will start to pull the log file from your watch. It may take a few minutes to complete the process. After the process is completed, the log file is saved to your current working directory in your terminal or command prompt – typically wherever you opened the terminal. NoteAfter collecting a dumpstate log, it is better to set the debug level back to LOW. This will restart the watch again. Option 2: Generate a Watch Dump from a Connected Galaxy Phone NoteIt is mandatory to maintain an uninterrupted connection between your phone and watch during this process. If you have a Galaxy phone that supports One UI 8.0 and it is connected to your Galaxy Watch, you can generate the dump log very easily with the following steps: a) On the connected Galaxy phone, dial *#9900#. In the SysDump tool that opens, select DELETE DUMPSTATE/LOGCAT b) Dial *#9900# again. In the SysDump tool, select DEBUG LEVEL DISABLED/LOW and set it to MID. This restarts the device. Figure 9: Steps (a) and (b) on a connected Galaxy phone c) On your Galaxy Watch, reproduce the issue/scenario you want to capture in your log. d) Back on the phone, dial *#9900# and select Get Watch dump. It will start generating the log, which may take a few minitues. During the process, you will receive toast messages about the process status and completion. Figure 10: Generate a watch dump from a connected phone e) After the log is successfully generated, the screen shows the generated log file name and folder path where it has been saved. Generally, you will find it in “My Files” on your phone. f) Collect the file, which is named in the format “bundled-bugreport-project<date_time.zip>”. This is the full log file you have just generated. Share the log file with the support team if asked. Option 3: Generate a Watch Dump Using the Galaxy Wearable Application a) Enable Developer Mode on the watch (see Figure 1). b) Connect your watch to the mobile phone using the Galaxy Wearable application. c) Reproduce the problem on your Galaxy Watch. d) On your phone, go to the Galaxy Wearable application. Select More > Settings > About Galaxy Wearable. Figure 11: Galaxy Wearable application e) Tap the "Galaxy Wearable" heading 5 times to open the Wearable Hidden Menu, select Get DumpState, and then Run Watch dump. NoteIf you need both a watch and a phone dump together, select Run Watch and Phone dump. Figure 12: Generate a dumpstate log from the Galaxy Wearable App f) Wait for the process to finish, which may take a few minutes. g) After the log is generated, it is written into the phone storage. The storage path is My Files > Internal Storage > Download > Log > GearLog > bundled-bugreport-project<date_time.zip>. Figure 13: Collecting the log from the phone storage h) Collect and share the log file with the support team if asked. Some Important Things to Keep in Mind It is better to disable Developer Mode when it is no longer required. Set the debugging level back to LOW after completing the log collection. If you are a developer, remember that ADB debugging may be used for advanced access. Do not move to another screen while generating the dumpstate log. You have to wait for some time for the full process to complete. This may take 1~3 minutes. After completing the full process, a popup notification will be shown. If you’re generating a log for a support ticket, follow the exact instructions given by the agent. Try to generate the log immediately after reproducing the issue you wish to capture. If possible, generate the log within 10 minutes. Check that you have collected the full log file before sending it to the Samsung support agent. Conclusion Galaxy Watch always offers flexible ways to collect logs and bug reports to troubleshoot and optimize your applications. Follow one of the options described above, generate your log file, zip it, and share it with Samsung support. By following this guide, you can confidently access logs, full bug reports, and system information to analyze application behavior, diagnose problems, and take steps accordingly. Remember to always handle data responsibly and keep debugging options disabled in production environments to protect device security and privacy.

Seongsu-dong is one of Seoul’s most vibrant destinations for both customers and brands. At the heart of the neighborhood stands Amore Seongsu, the flagship store of global beauty powerhouse Amorepacific. Preserving architectural elements such as the structure, floors and walls of the original automobile repair shop it once was, this unique space invites visitors to explore an immersive, hands-on journey toward discovering “beauty that is uniquely yours.” Designed with the customer experience in mind, Amore Seongsu seamlessly incorporates a range of Samsung Electronics products into the space. Alongside lifestyle TVs such as The Serif and The Sero as well as Smart Monitors, the store recently introduced Samsung’s Color E-paper. The addition marks a meaningful step toward sustainable transformation through digital innovation — while remaining true to the store’s core philosophy of effortless authenticity. ▲ (From left) Tae-hyun Kim, Senior Manager and Jeongsik Shin, Assistant Manager of the Restore Business Team at Amorepacific Creative Center, are enhancing store operations by introducing Samsung Color E-Paper to the flagship store. Samsung Newsroom spoke with Tae-hyun Kim, Senior Manager and Jeongsik Shin, Assistant Manager — both part of the Restore Business Team at Amorepacific Creative Center — about how Color E-Paper was integrated into the store and how visitors have responded. Flexible Placement: Allowing for Seamless Digital Integration When visitor enter Amore Seongsu, the first space they encounter is the reception area — where Color E-Paper displays the store layout and event information. ▲ Visitors are welcomed by Samsung Color E-Paper at Amore Seongsu, one of Seoul’s trendiest spots. “Color E-Paper was the first thing I sought when I walked into Amore Seongsu — to check the store map,” said Hefziba Mancilla Plaza, a Canadian intern at Amorepacific. “I actually thought it was a framed poster until someone told me it was a digital device.” Another Color E-Paper is installed in the merchandising zone, suspended elegantly from the ceiling like an art piece. As visitors conclude their immersive journey through the store, the display elegantly complements the product presentation. ▲ Samsung Color E-Paper suspended from the ceiling in the merchandising zone at Amore Seongsu. Weighing just 2.5 kg including its cordless, rechargeable battery, Color E-Paper is lightweight and easy to install in various formats — hanging, standing or wall-mounted1 — without the need for additional mounts. This versatility allows retail managers to easily adapt to the frequent changes characteristic of pop-up retail spaces. “Amore Seongsu is a space where the concept of beauty is reinterpreted through visual storytelling and thematic experiences, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a journey to discover a beauty that reflects the self,” said Kim. “Although Samsung Color E-Paper is a digital device, its slim, cable-free design and light weight enables us to easily install it anywhere without worrying about changing the visual language of the existing environment.” ▲ (Left photo, from left) Alena Zhang, Hefziba Mancilla Plaza and Abigaël Mihalache appreciate how Samsung Color E-Paper’s sleek design naturally blends into the store interior. Visitors seem to notice the alignment between space and design. “What stood out to me [about Amore Seongsu] was how the preserved structure of the old building and the central garden create a unique atmosphere that enhances the products display,” said Abigaël Mihalache, a customer from France. “Color E-Paper blends in and draws attention to the products while supporting the brand’s story.” Streamlined Operations: A Smarter Way To Manage Retail Spaces Beyond its versatile installation options, Samsung Color E-Paper offers another key advantage — the ability to adapt content to suit the space and context. At Amore Seongsu, monthly themed exhibitions and brand pop-ups mean frequent content updates. In the past, replacing and reinstalling printed materials required significant time and cost. With Color E-Paper, staff members can now update and apply content changes quickly and easily using a dedicated mobile app. The app also supports a playlist feature, enabling multiple pieces of content to be displayed and rotated in sequence, further improving space utility and operational efficiency. ▲ Kim highlights how easy content updates have opened up new possibilities for store operations. “When we used posters or brochures, we couldn’t make modifications once they were printed. The process of ordering, receiving and installing them was also cumbersome,” said Shin. “Content management is significantly faster and more efficient with Color E-Paper since everything is handled through a single app.” “In a faced-paced environment where information constantly changes, we needed a visual medium that could communicate effectively without overwhelming the space,” Kim added. “Most backlit displays end up feeling harsh in our store. They are too bright and end up clashing with our calm ambiance. Color E-Paper, on the other hand, integrates naturally and offers a more refined, less intrusive presentation. That subtlety was especially appealing.” The Vision: A Step Towards Sustainable Beauty Color E-Paper is unlocking new possibilities for next-generation digital signage — delivering both immersion and convenience while reducing the need for paper and ink and, at the same time, using significantly less energy than conventional digital signage. ▲ Shin values the sustainability aspect of Samsung Color E-Paper. By providing a soft, paper-like display, Color E-Paper resonates with Amorepacific’s philosophy of embracing natural, self-reflective beauty. Unlike typical backlit displays, this innovative product uses a printing-like technology paired with Samsung’s proprietary Color Imaging Algorithm technology to deliver vibrant colors and sharp images. “We put a lot of care into ensuring that our visual materials accurately reflect the real colors and textures of our products,” said Shin. “Samsung Color E-Paper‘s subtle, natural colors allow us to maintain that consistency without overstatement.” ▲ A visitor examines how Samsung Color E-Paper naturally reflects the colors of the products. Additionally, Color E-Paper consumes just 0.00 watts2 when displaying static content, enabling energy-efficient operation, even in spaces where content changes frequently “The fact that Color E-Paper offers a sustainable alternative to paper makes it even more meaningful,” Kim added. “It aligns with Amorepacific’s philosophy of not only conveying external beauty but also reflecting on intrinsic values.” Brands tell their stories through physical space and customers connect with those stories through experiences. Samsung Color E-Paper is bridging experience and meaning, driving transformation with technology that blends seamlessly into virtually any environment. 1 Accessories including stand and wall-mount sold separately. 2 According to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62301 standards, power consumption under 0.005 watts is displayed as 0.00 watts.

At its core, television is about picture quality. As the world’s No. 1 TV brand, Samsung Electronics has consistently extended its lead in this field, securing an unrivaled position in the pursuit of excellence. The mark of true leadership, however, lies not only in picture quality itself but also in the overall viewing experience. Samsung’s 2025 OLEDs embody this with Glare-Free1 and AI gamma-adjusting technologies, innovations that minimize distractions to deliver an optimal viewing experience. To uncover the details behind the TVs’ vivid visuals, Samsung Newsroom spoke with Mirae Shin from the Picture Quality Lab of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display (VD) Business. ▲ Mirae Shin with the new 2025 Samsung S95F OLED TV Enhanced Glare-Free Technology: Bright or Dark, Always Clear OLED is renowned for delivering perfect blacks, vivid colors and ultra-fast response times — strengths made possible by its self-emissive design, which allows each pixel to generate color or block light without the need for a backlight. Yet the high-gloss finishes often used to maximize these strengths are inevitably vulnerable to reflections from external light sources. While a theater-like setting that blocks all ambient light would be ideal, the viewing environments of TV users are rarely perfect. Sunlight streaming through windows during the day or the glow of living room lights in the evening can reflect off the screen, making it difficult to truly appreciate what’s on-screen. This is where Glare-Free technology makes the difference. By effectively reducing reflections and glare, it allows viewers to experience OLED to the fullest in any environment. Select 2025 Samsung OLEDs deliver an impressive Glare-Free performance with a specially engineered low-reflection layer that disperses external light and reduces internal light-scattering without distorting picture quality. Compared to previous models, it reduces reflections by more than 25%.2 This performance has also been verified by UL Solutions, a global certification organization.3 “This year’s enhanced Glare-Free technology significantly lowers reflection rates and minimizes screen distortion, ultimately enabling the set to deliver outstanding picture quality in both bright and dark environments,” Shin explained. In practice, this means viewers don’t have to worry about washed-out colors caused by sunlight when watching movies or diminished details in dark game scenes under ambient lighting. ▲ Comparison: OLEDs with/without Glare-Free technology in a bright viewing environment. Select 2025 Samsung OLEDs minimize viewing interference from external light sources by leveraging a special low-reflection layer. Bringing Hidden Details to Light With AI Gamma Technology Samsung hasn’t overlooked software innovations, either. While Glare-Free technology provides a physical solution to reduce interference from external light sources, AI gamma adjustment adds another layer of refinement. 2025 Samsung OLEDs optimize content by using AI to adjust gamma values, which refer to numerical measurements that define the correlation between the brightness of an input signal and the luminance displayed on-screen. Human vision is highly sensitive to subtle contrast differences in dark areas, but responds less acutely in bright areas. Gamma adjustment compensates for this, making contrast appear more natural to the eye. When effectively implemented, it allows viewers to perceive fine details even in shadowed scenes, all while delivering more vivid and lifelike visuals. ▲ 2025 Samsung OLED TVs offer an AI-based gamma adjustment feature to optimize each scene by content and ambient light. “Our enhanced gamma-adjusting technology uses AI algorithms to analyze the average brightness of each scene in real time, then automatically adjusts the gamma value according to the surrounding lighting conditions,” Shin explained, outlining the fundamental principles behind the technology. “For example, when watching dark content in a bright living room, the gamma value is adjusted so that shadowed areas on screen are brightened just enough to preserve detail, preventing them from being obscured by ambient light,” she said. “Conversely, when watching bright content in a dark room, the gamma value is adjusted to minimize glare in bright on-screen areas and enhance contrast.” “When the environment suddenly shifts from dark to bright — like when the lights come on in a movie theater — shadowed areas on screen can temporarily disappear from view. Again, adjusting the gamma value in such cases makes those dark areas visible again. The key is to keep the viewing experience consistent by providing adaptive gamma values,” she added. Brightness, Contrast and High Refresh Rates for the Ultimate Viewing Experience Besides Glare-Free technology and AI gamma adjustment technology, the 2025 OLEDs also incorporate a range of signature Samsung innovations that maximize the strengths of OLED panels. For example, upgraded panels are brighter by about 30%4 compared to previous models. “The brighter the TV display, the more accurately it can convey a filmmaker or content creator’s original intent,” said Shin. Contrast ratio — the core strength of OLED — has also been enhanced. “OLED panels are made of self-emissive elements, allowing each RGB5 pixel to be switched on or off individually,” Shin explained. “This means that when black content is displayed, each pixel can be entirely dimmed to produce perfect blacks.” The contrast between deep blacks and increased brightness heightens immersion not only in movies and dramas, but also in games with numerous dark scenes. ▲ Shin proudly notes that the new S95F OLED TV delivers unmatched immersion with enhanced brightness, perfect blacks and high refresh rates. “Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs are an attractive choice not only for content viewers but also for gamers,” Shin continued. “Glare-Free technology allows dark scenes in games to be enjoyed in crisp detail, even in bright environments. On top of that, the TV is the industry’s first to support a 165Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth, lifelike gameplay without any breaks in the action,” she added. “OLED’s strengths lie in pixel-level dimming and ultra-fast response times. By combining those with a 165Hz refresh rate, we’ve unlocked the full potential of OLED panels.” Equipped with cutting-edge technologies, the 2025 Samsung OLEDs deliver the ultimate immersive viewing experience. With these new models, Samsung has once again proven its unrivaled leadership in OLED technology — not only advancing the state of the art, but pushing the very boundaries of what a TV can be. 1 Applicable only to models featuring Glare-Free technology 2 Based on internal studies 3 UL’s verification certifies glare-free performance by evaluating the product against the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) test standards set by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) (Reflected glare UGR ≤ 10, discomfort glare UGR ≤ 22, disability glare UGR ≤ 34). 4 Based on internal studies 5 Red, green, blue View the full article

Samsung Electronics today announced that its 2025 OLED TV (S95F model) has been officially certified as a Real Black display by the Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), a leading electrical engineering certification institute in Germany.1 By meeting the required standards to be genuinely considered Real Black, Samsung has proven that its OLED technology delivers a true black viewing experience. The certification validates the OLED display’s crisp, reflection-free images with near-perfect blacks measured below 0.005 nits in dark environments, as well as black accuracy in sunlit rooms and even under direct sunlight. The result is crystal-clear visuals with rich, deep blacks in their truest form. “Earning VDE’s Real Black certification is proof of our commitment to taking OLED technology to new heights,” said Hoon Seol, Vice President and Head of CE Division at Samsung Electronics Germany. “We look forward to bringing more customers the opportunity to experience world-class picture quality with the deepest blacks and color clarity.” “VDE’s ‘Real Black’ certification is awarded only to displays that excel in our most demanding evaluations,” said Ansgar Hinz, the Chairman and CEO of VDE. “Samsung’s OLED stood out for its ability to maintain rich, accurate blacks across a wide range of lighting environments — from home theaters to brightly lit living rooms. This achievement reflects both technological excellence and a commitment to delivering consistent picture quality in real-world conditions.” Meeting the Highest Standard for Real Black Validation The flagship OLED TV series comes equipped with Samsung’s advanced Glare-Free 2.0. VDE’s certification affirms the exceptional performance of this proprietary technology, which preserves the depth and details of the OLED display’s black levels by minimizing reflections. To earn this certification, Samsung’s OLED S95F series was evaluated on how “truly black” the display appears under various viewing conditions, with performance assessed through three rigorous tests: Ambient light impact in bright rooms: The display was evaluated for the level of distraction caused by light reflections for viewers while watching TV.2 Black levels in dark settings: In a dark room test, the display’s black level performance was measured to ensure it met the standard of 0.005 nits or less.3 Surface gloss level: Screen surface reflections were measured to determine the amount of glare of Samsung’s Glare-Free Technology.4 Exceptional Color for Gaming and Entertainment The Real Black-certified OLED series delivers exceptional color clarity and contrast that brings every detail to life, whether in fast-paced games or cinematic scenes. The advanced OLED Glare-Free technology enhances this experience by preserving rich colors and deep blacks in any lighting conditions so that viewers can enjoy stunning, true-to-life visuals no matter the content. Samsung has led the global TV market for 19 consecutive years,5 a position built on its leadership in premium displays and leading-edge innovations in viewing experiences. In addition to the VDE Real Black certification, Samsung’s 2025 OLED TV lineup is the first in the industry to be certified with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and has recently been validated as NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible, ensuring seamless performance and smooth gameplay.
