Samsung is all set to launch its new app, Samsung News, which aims to provide a convenient platform for consumers to access a wide range of trusted news sources.
The app will offer users morning and evening briefings as well as custom feeds, allowing them to tailor their news experience to their preferences.
Initially launching in beta, Samsung News will be rolled out to US Samsung Galaxy users as an update to the Samsung Free app.
Existing users of Samsung Free will see the app icon change to Samsung News once the update becomes available on April 18, while others can download the app from the Samsung Galaxy Store. Initially, Samsung News will be available on select phones, with a rollout to all devices in the coming weeks.
The app will give users access to a diverse range of news content from a variety of trusted partners, including CNN, Fox News, HuffPost, Politico, Reuters, USA Today and more.
Additional news sources will be added to the app over time, via Samsung’s syndication partner, Update. Samsung News aims to provide users with a one-stop-shop for accessing news on their Samsung Galaxy devices, making it easy and convenient to stay informed.
“We built Samsung News to deliver breaking and premium news to Galaxy users in an easy-to-access format. Our goal is to help users curate their ideal news experience,” said Avner Ronen, VP of Product Development at Samsung Electronics.
Three easy ways to find news within the app:
- daily briefing: Delivered twice a day (Morning Briefing and Evening Briefing), Samsung is working with a team of experienced news editors to bring to users the top headlines of the day in one place.
- News feeds: Users can view a feed of news from Samsung’s partners, categorized and organized for easy access, and in the “Following” tab users can update their preferences to customize the news they see.
- podcast: Users can listen to their favorite news and entertainment podcasts directly in the Samsung News app.
“Samsung News will allow us to have a new and effective channel that is reliable and timely to deliver breaking news directly to users,” said HuffPost Editor-in-Chief Danielle Belton.
“In our always-connected and fast-paced world, Samsung News will give Galaxy users another way to stay updated and access the latest business news and trends from Fortune,” said Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alison Schontell.
