Samsung is preparing to offer contactless door unlocking to its users with its smartphones and watches very soon. No more searching for keys or taking your phone out of your pocket when entering your home or office. With Samsung’s devices with Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, you will only need to approach the door and it will open automatically. But how will this be possible?
In 2025, Samsung will enable you to unlock doors without even taking your smartphone out of your pocket!
Samsung is developing a new universal smart lock standard called Aliro. This technology will use the UWB technology found in Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra and later models, allowing you to unlock doors without taking your phone or watch out of your pocket. For older devices or those with NFC, it will be possible to unlock with a simple tap.
The company plans to integrate this feature with Digital Home Key, which it will introduce in 2025. With this feature, entering your home will be like being in a science fiction movie. Especially when your hands are full or you need to enter the house in a hurry, this feature will be a great convenience.
Meanwhile, Apple is also planning to integrate the Aliro standard into its devices, but we have not yet heard anything about this technology from the Google front. So it looks like Samsung and Apple will take the lead in this race. What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
