Read the original post: Pocketable OV Valet Brings Samsung Pay Goodness to All for $69

OV Valet, a new superkey/keychain device, is licensing and bringing Samsung Pay’s touchless payments technology to the masses. And sure, while being available on Samsung Galaxy devices is already the definition of being available for the masses, with millions of Samsung Pay-compatible devices in the wild, OV Valet looks to open up the NFC + MST combo goodness to even more people, including those on iOS.

For a bit of background, OV Valet is from Will Graylin, who is the founder of LoopPay, which was acquired and turned into Samsung Pay. Now, Graylin is licensing Samsung Pay’s technology and placing it into a little device that fits into your pocket. The device pairs with your smartphone, and just like Samsung Pay, works at virtually every point-of-sale station in the world.

Available for pre-order today starting at $69 and shipping in December of this year, there’s a companion app where users will manage all of the payment information on the little card. What’s really nice is that you won’t need your phone around to use it, as it works perfectly fine as a standalone device. If you’re simply running to the corner store to grab, take the OV Valet and not your whole wallet. Easy peasy.

OVLoop’s patented HCE technology lets users pay with NFC on their phones, and the app manages cards, suspends or unsuspends their Valet, accesses transaction data, and even tracks or rings their Superkey. While Valet is fully managed via the OV Loop app, it does not need a phone close by to work, so users can bring Valet with them, untethered, on a jog, to the gym or anytime carrying a wallet or purse is impractical.

Sound kinda sweet? You can order one for yourself by following the link below.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
