Those Who Order Samsung's New Phones Will Win NFT!
The new Galaxy NFTs do not yet have a practical use case. This is a general characteristic of NFTs more than anything else. But Samsung Electronics plans to add more value to the commemorative NFT. It also aims to blur the line between the virtual and real worlds.
Today, the company announced that it has signed an MOU (memorandum of understanding) with several local companies to provide benefits to New Galaxy NFT owners in the real world. As a result of this agreement, New Galaxy NFT owners in South Korea will soon enjoy discounts and savings when authenticating the NFT at Digital Plaza, Show Gold, The Shilla Duty Free Shop and e-Cruise.
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 on August 10 at 16:00 Turkish time. Customers will be able to reserve the new foldable devices now, as well as the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Buds Pro. Also, customers who pre-order will earn up to $200 in Samsung Credits. But while booking bonuses are known, pre-order bonuses beyond the New Galaxy NFT are unknown. Either way, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 will be Samsung's first foldable phones with an associated NFT as a pre-order bonus. It has not yet been announced whether this campaign will be available for customers outside of South Korea.
Samsung Increases Web3 Initiatives!
Samsung has dealt with NFTs before. In January, Samsung announced that it launched an NFT and a virtual store in Decentraland. It also allowed players to go on a Galaxy S22-themed event hunt. The company has also struck a deal with Roblox in recent weeks. In this context, it launched Space Tycoon, a built-in Metaverse-based experience. The game is designed to entertain Gen Z users. In this context, Samsung Metaverse products will have a world that can be built by selecting key components. The experience also includes a store to purchase in-game items.
Samsung is involved in various software experiences for gaming and entertainment. The company continues to actively develop some projects with partners in the industry. One of them will enable the platform to offer its NFTs through Samsung smart TVs. Also, the company has its NFT platform launched in partnership with Nifty Gateway, a popular NFT marketplace.
