The tech giant supplies mobile devices, laptops and televisions amongst a host of other gadgets across the world but the company has now announced that their own news platform will be rolled out to UK users via an app for the first time.

Andrew Bailey, Editor-in-Chief, Samsung News, said: “There’s never been a greater need for accurate, verified, and balanced news that doesn’t live behind a paywall. Our goal with Samsung News is to offer Galaxy users a broad selection of free content from premium partners, including breaking news, deep-dives, and briefings hand-picked by our experienced news editors.

“Users will also be able to customise their feeds by following publishers and topics that interest them, such as Sport, Business and Entertainment. With diverse content from hundreds of sources, we aim to provide all sides of a story.”

Bosses at Sky News are thrilled with the move as they team up with Samsung because they are "trusted by millions" and have promised "fast and accurate" content.

David Rhodes, Executive Chairman, Sky News Group, said: “Sky News is trusted by millions for fast and accurate breaking news, deep analysis and insight and eyewitness journalism from around the world. We’re delighted, alongside our Sky Sports colleagues, to be partnering with Samsung News allowing us to bring millions more Galaxy users the full story, first.”
