Samsung Galaxy Store could feature malware-ridden apps

Samsung is one of the few brands that provides a second solution for the system applications that are obtained when an Android smartphone is first launched. This includes its own browser, its own voice assistant, and even its own app store. The Samsung Galaxy Store does not have as many options as the Google Play store, but a new report from Android Police suggests that it has a bigger problem.

According to reports, the Galaxy Store is flooded with fake cloned apps, which may carry malware. Recently, multiple clones of the Showbox application have been discovered on the app, and these may have been downloaded by many unsuspecting customers. Twitter user Max Weinbach recently pointed out the existence of these cloned apps on Twitter, and also mentioned similar problems he had found on Huawei smartphones. Check out the tweet below. The report added that analysis of the VirusTotal application revealed multiple “low-level alerts from security vendors, ranging from “risky software” to adware.” These applications also request permission to run sensitive data, including access to contacts. People, call logs and phone calls.

Interestingly, when users try to install these cloned applications from the Galaxy Store, the Google Play Protect function on the Android phone is activated to warn users of the potential risks of installing such applications. However, the fact that there are multiple such apps in Samsung’s official app store is worrying. As we all know, OEMs that have their own app store on a custom Android skin will encourage users to use their own app store instead of the Google Play store to download new apps and games and update existing ones. This includes Galaxy Store on OneUI, GetApps on MIUI, and more examples.

Although pushing users to use your own store is not a problem, the presence of harmful apps on platforms that should be risk-free is a problem. I hope that Samsung will get rid of these applications and pay close attention to fake applications that try to enter the Galaxy Store in the future.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3

Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.

The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.

Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.

It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
