Why shouldn’t the most eagerly anticipated Android phone, most likely called Samsung Galaxy S22, also launch in the most-talked-about virtual space: the Metaverse. When Samsung officially shows off its nifty Android gadgets on February 9 at 10am ET, it’ll do so online, in a YouTube video, on social media, and in a virtual re-creation of its downtown New York City location called 837X (the physical address is 837 Washington St.). Samsung built the virtual store inside Decentraland, a 3D virtual world browser that might remind some of Second Life. However, Decentraland, which launched in February 2020, is also a cryptocurrency playground where members can connect their crypto wallets and purchase plots of lands as NFTs. Perhaps Samsung paid for its 837X space with some of its own Mana cryptocurrency. Why the Metaverse? Why not? That’s the better question.
