Samsung mobiles are starting to function as car keys

When the Korean Samsung introduced the Galaxy S21 series phones earlier this year, it showed during the presentation how they are able to perform finding and unlocking the car. Specifically the Audi, BMW, Ford and Genesis brands. Although this possibility may have been forgotten, it finally gets real outlines. And not only for mobile phones from this flag series. The Galaxy S21 +, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra models already know this handy function.

If you were glad that you have one of these mobile phones and you will run it right away, we have to cool you down a bit. So far, the novelty only works for the recently introduced luxury car Genesis GV60. In his example and from the attached screenshots with Digital Key card we can at least look at what the function looks like and what it can do. It is obvious that the car can not only be found and unlocked by phone, but even started. It is also possible to share a virtual access key with other people. We are already looking forward to extending the function to other Samsung phones and especially vehicles.

Would you trust this system?
