South Korean tech giant to launch news app for Galaxy devices
The company has teamed up with Axel Springer to create its new News apps for its Galaxy Smartphones and tablets.
For now, it seems the new app Samsung is working will only be available to the Galaxy smartphones.
Axel Springer and Samsung also revealed an early beta version of UPDAY – the Samsung news app, an aggregated news content platform which, when fully launched in 2016, will be the first complete service to have been developed under the terms of the new partnership between the two companies.
According to media reports, UPDAY will offer Samsung customers access to a range of news content that combines ‘Need to Know’ information selected by a local market editorial team and ‘Want to Know’ information, an algorithm-based service tailored to customers’ individual interests.
