Apple is launching their new Apple News app with the launch of iOS 9 and now Samsung has announced that it is creating its own news app for its Galaxy range of devices.
Samsung has teamed up with Axel Springer to create its new News apps for its Galaxy Smartphones and tablets.
Introducing UPDAY: Samsung’s New News Platform
Axel Springer and Samsung also revealed an early beta version of UPDAY, an aggregated news content platform which, when fully launched next year, will be the first complete service to have been developed under the terms of the new partnership.
UPDAY will offer Samsung customers access to a range of news content that combines ‘Need to Know’ information selected by a local market editorial team and ‘Want to Know’ information, an algorithm-based service tailored to customers’ individual interests.
The collaboration between Samsung and Axel Springer is a strategic move to enhance the user experience on Samsung devices by providing a seamless and personalized news consumption experience. Axel Springer, a leading digital publisher in Europe, brings its extensive expertise in journalism and digital content to the table, ensuring that the news provided is both high-quality and relevant.
Features and Benefits of UPDAY
One of the standout features of UPDAY is its dual approach to news curation. The ‘Need to Know’ section is curated by professional editors who select the most important and relevant news stories of the day. This ensures that users are always informed about significant events and developments. On the other hand, the ‘Want to Know’ section uses advanced algorithms to analyze users’ reading habits and preferences, delivering personalized content that matches their interests.
This combination of human editorial oversight and machine learning ensures that UPDAY can cater to a wide range of user preferences, from those who want a quick overview of the day’s top stories to those who prefer in-depth articles on specific topics.
Moreover, UPDAY is designed to be highly intuitive and user-friendly. The app’s interface is clean and easy to navigate, making it simple for users to find the news they are interested in. The app also supports offline reading, allowing users to save articles and read them later without an internet connection.
Another significant advantage of UPDAY is its integration with Samsung’s ecosystem. The app is optimized for Samsung’s Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets, ensuring smooth performance and a seamless user experience. This integration also allows for additional features, such as notifications for breaking news and the ability to share articles directly from the app to other Samsung devices.
