The new Samsung Galaxy A series comes with a new feature for users to shop securely. Now, those guessing which this functionality on social media could also apparently win prizes. Samsung is even claiming to reward such winners with a Galaxy Fit smart band. Netizens have been majorly guessing that this feature would be the Samsung Pay. This is also indicative of the fact that there could potentially be a new secure payment or an enhanced functionality aspect as far as dealing with purchase-related transactions are concerned.  

With the new Samsung Galaxy A smartphone series being the focal point, check out below the new “secure shopping” teaser from Samsung: 

With a huge number of netizens guessing (and even potentially expecting) a new Samsung Pay-like functionality, it only becomes a matter of time before this goes official. The new Galaxy A series of smartphones would be launched on 11 September. These handsets would come to India as well. As far as the other new features of the smartphones are concerned, these include the likes of cameras that rotate on both sides for photography/videography/timelapse shots. Here, there are ultra-wide and wide camera lenses. In another interesting development, Samsung has also been recommending users, of the current-gen Galaxy J smartphone series, to the newer Galaxy A lineup. 

In related news, Samsung’s Galaxy M30s is set to come to India on 18 September. There is an unconventional USP of this smartphone, which is its 6000mAh battery. This handset would come to India and would be available to buy on Flipkart. The phone’s 6000mAh batter is what grabs eyeballs before release. Would this last even post the release of the smartphone? Only time can tell.
