Samsung smartphones will be able to open doors with one touch

Samsung smartphones from next year will be able to unlock smart locks with one touch or no touch at all, simply by proximity using UWB technology. Instead, the touch unlock feature will use NFC.

Thus, Samsung users will be on par with iPhone owners who have already been able to unlock smart locks without any problems. Samsung will support the new Aliro smart lock standard and add it to the Wallet digital home key. You can unlock the lock even without an Internet connection. At most, the user won't even have to unlock the phone.

Of course, hands-free UWB unlocking will only work if your Samsung phone supports UWB, and there aren't many such smartphones (generally only foldable models plus models Ultra of the Galaxy S flagship line). 

Perhaps, now more smartphones will support UWB. The Aliro standard is developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance, the same organization behind the Matter smart home standard. Like Matter, Aliro is being worked on by Apple, Google, Samsung, as well as major manufacturers of locks and chips. The first specification of the standard is expected to be published next year, after which Samsung devices will begin to support it.
