Negative because of
1. Security 1. Validation risk: who programmed the wallet? Where is the source code?
2. Security 2. surface of attack. Embedding the wallet directly on the phone greatly improves the surface of attack of potentially malicious attacker.
3. Privacy. Embedding a wallet in a phone link my wallet to my IMEI, that is linked to my identity. That phone comes with an embedded KYC
4. Personal security. Hanging around with such a phone signals you are interested in crypto. So you are exposed to physical attack. Even if you don’t actually hold any crypto in the wallet you are exposed to such a risk. (here an always relevant XKCD strip: https://xkcd.com/538/)

Instead I cannot think of a single advantage of carrying such a phone, instead of a regular phone with an open source app installed (second best, apple with a well known wallet)

Of course this is very welcoming news for crypto enthusiast. My only concern is the price, we all know that Samsung produces high end smart phones, so I'm assuming the price will be expensive even for casuals crypto investors. Second, if the phone is expensive, then why not get a hardware wallet which prices around the $100-$300 only? Also I consider it not safe, because your phone will be always online so the risk is there, just saying.

People don't really take security seriously, they think that just by not typing xxxxx in their web browser makes it safe.
Most hold their coins on exchanges although those have a record of being hacked and security breached, a lot have their wallets on the same computer they use for downloading pirated content or cracks for games, a lot don't even have a password-protected wallet.
And this because most are too lazy to be bothered by having ten times to do before sending coins.
So the phone will catch on, as long as people afford it because it will be easy to use.


But that aside, what is troubling me most is...
ETH support only??? WTF?

Lol. Are you sure that the news is real? This is just rumour and unless Samsung really acknowledges that they are going to have a mobile wallet that will support crypto, this is just another fake news to me. And what do you think the price of this mobile phone will be $1K'ish? Damn, I would rather invest that on bitcoin and buy hardware wallet.  

The adoption of blockchain technology by large companies like Samsung might at least increase people's trust in bitcoin. However, there are still many users of Samsung products who do not yet know the function of this blockchain technology, so maybe even though this technology already exists in smartphones released by Samsung, the features of this technology will not be so used by users.

I don't really like this idea of Samsung putting an embedded cryptocurrency wallet at their phone. Those people who already knew how to easily make a wallet, they really know how their private-key would be in risk too because the developers probably know each private-keys in each phones.
How would they explain if someone got hacked in the future? And also your phone is at risk too if it is taken away from you then your cryptocurrency wallet would be in risk.

This only means that cryptocurrencies are being recognize by big named companies such as Samsung. The technology innovation is beyond our expectation and really advance than we thought. I guess if this is going to be in mainstream other technology company will really adapt this changes on smartphone and cryptocurrencies as well as the views of people towards the crypto.

I always welcome anything new to crypto and anything new that is related to crypto, and about this one, I am a litle confuses, cellphones gets lost and stolen almost everyday around the globe - will this one be a good idea to store crypto on a cellphone?

Since from the start sumsung company adopt cryptocurrency theirs a great imfact to the crypto communty to give hope from the people lost their hope to the cryptocurrency.
I salute to the sumsung company for their support understand well the potential of crypto as become world class currency  using new technology. (This idea can work well easy to transfer found using cellphone)
