Samsung Pay cardless cash withdrawal now supported by Wells Fargo ATMs

Samsung Pay users in the United States can now withdraw cash from Wells Fargo ATMs even if they don’t have their debit card with them. The bank today announced that it has enabled support for Samsung Pay cardless cash withdrawal on more than 5,000 ATMs across the United States. Wells Fargo debit card customers can take advantage of this functionality starting today.

Wells Fargo confirmed that today, more than 40 percent of its ATMs across the country have support for Samsung Pay cardless cash withdrawal. It is aiming to upgrade the rest of its over 13,000 ATMs in the United States with “tap and pay” NFC functionality by 2019.

Samsung Pay Cardless Cash Withdrawal

In order to use this functionality, Wells Fargo customers first have to configure their debit cards with Samsung Pay. Once that’s done, they don’t need to carry the debit card with them to get cash if they can find an NFC-enabled Wells Fargo ATM.

To order to conduct a Samsung Pay cardless cash withdrawal, they have to walk up to the ATM, select the relevant debit card in Samsung Pay on their device and just hold it near the ATM’s NFC terminal. They only need to enter the card’s PIN number to complete the transaction.

More than 5,000 Wells Fargo ATMs that have support for cardless cash withdrawals currently will feature a “contactless symbol” decal on the front.

SamMobile Daily Recap: October 10, 2017 — Galaxy Tab A (2017), Gear Sport and more!

This image compares the Galaxy Note 8’s top bezel with competing ‘all-screen’ phones

Phones with “all screen” designs will soon be the standard in the smartphone industry, at least as far as flagship phones are concerned. Apple recently hopped on the bandwagon, and Google has followed suit with the Pixel 2 XL. Samsung impressed us all with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, and LG has also been playing the bezel-less game for some time with devices like the LG G6 and, more recently, the LG V30. Even Huawei has such a device in the upcoming Mate 10, and an image leakster Evleaks had made shows how the top bezel of each of these phones compares with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.

It’s all about the bezels

LG and Huawei have gotten the hang of keeping the bezels uniform and minimal, while the Pixel 2 XL takes up a bit more space, possibly due to the front-facing stereo speakers. Apple has clearly taken the wrong route with that unsightly notch ruining the experience on the iPhone X and putting the kibosh on the company’s “all-screen design.” The Galaxy Note 8’s top bezel may not be as tiny as LG or Huawei’s device, but hey, it does have a higher-resolution front camera compared to the V30 and an iris scanner to accommodate.

We don’t just say this because we’re a Samsung fan site, but we think the company’s take on phones with virtually no bezels is the best there is, with its industry-leading AMOLED displays adding to the charm. The image below doesn’t make that clear, though, so it’s just a way to see the kind of approach different companies are taking to increase screen-to-body ratios. Take a look, and let us know what you think!

Samsung takes to YouTube to show off some of the Gear Sport’s best features

Samsung has taken to its official YouTube channel to share a short video showcasing the Gear Sport, its recently-announced fitness-orientated wearable that was designed to bridge the gap between the Gear S3 classic and Gear S3 frontier.

Those who tuned into the device’s announcement last month will likely be feeling a little bit of déjà vu right about now—and rightfully so. The video the firm uploaded to its YouTube channel today is the exact one it played during the event.

The Gear Sport, which is essentially a revamped model of the Gear S2, will be available with a variety of colorful, interchangeable 20mm straps when it hits the shelves in Europe on October 27. Pricing is expected to be set at €349.99 ($412).

Samsung Internet update to bring new ‘Smart Go Next’ feature for better form navigation

Samsung is working on a new feature for its Internet application, its in-house browser that’s based on Google’s open-source Chromium platform, that’ll make data-entry a breeze. Dubbed ‘Smart Go Next,’ the tool transforms your keyboard’s Enter key into a Go button when you’re entering information into a form, so you can easily submit it.

The feature automatically changes the Go button into a Next key while you’re filling in a form, thus preventing you from accidentally submit it, explains Samsung, adding that Smart Go Next is essentially an extension to the existing Smart Form Navigation feature, which enhances the keyboard by including Previous and Next buttons on the top.

Smart Go Next will also make its way to Google Chrome for Android

Those who prefer Google Chrome for Android will be pleased to hear that Smart Go Next is also coming to the client—and that’s because it’s baked into Chromium 62. We’re still waiting to find out exactly when Samsung will launch the feature, but it’s safe to assume that it will start rolling out later this month.

Samsung Electronics shares surge as record profits expected

Investors appear to be quite bullish as Samsung Electronics shares surged 4.5 percent today after the market opened in Seoul. Analysts expect the company to report record profits from its memory chips business for the third quarter of this year ending September. This is the biggest intraday percentage gain for Samsung Electronics shares since October last year.

One of the conglomerate’s other affiliates, Samsung SDI, also surged 4.5 percent when the market opened today. Samsung SDI is the affiliate that manufactures displays and batteries.

Samsung Electronics Shares

The company’s share price hit a peak of 2.682 million won or $2,362 when the market opened earlier today. It has conceded some gains throughout the trading day, ending at 2.640 million won or $2,325. It’s up 2.96 percent from the previous close.

Samsung’s Q3 2017 results are due this Friday and analysts expect that the company will report record profits from its memory chip business. Some analysts have already raised the price target for the company’s shares to 3.5 million won or $3,080.

Analysts expect Samsung to post an operating profit of 13.34 trillion won on earnings of 64.84 trillion won. Samsung posted record profits in the previous quarter as well. It actually became the most profitable tech company in the world. The company will certainly be looking to maintain the momentum.

Samsung to launch a laptop that can recognize in-air gestures, suggests patent

Samsung has filed for a patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office for a new laptop in its Notebook line. The (presumably) high-end machine is said to ship with a force-touch trackpad, in addition to a slew of sensors that can recognize contactless user input.

Unlike Windows Hello, however, Notebook users—assuming the technology comes to fruition, of course—will need to position their hands above the trackpad when mimicking a gesture, because the required sensors are embedded in the trackpad panel.

Air Gesture isn’t a new concept

Samsung has toyed around with contactless navigation in the past. The Galaxy S4 shipped with a fully-fledged Air Gesture feature, which allowed users to scroll through webpages and accept incoming calls, without even having to touch their device.

Air Gesture wasn’t around for long, though. When the Galaxy S6 hit the shelves, it was nowhere to be seen, presumably a result of a lack of interest. I, for one, was a proud Galaxy S4 owner and can’t recall using the feature even once.

With that in mind, we should note that Samsung regularly files patents, but hardly any of them ever see the light of day. Could this be one of the few that make it into the hands of the public? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean we can’t hold out hope.
