Samsung Pay will shut down Boost QR payments from November 15
Samsung Malaysia has announced that it will stop supporting Boost QR payments on Samsung Pay from November 15, 2021. Boost became the first local eWallet to support Samsung Pay and was merged in March 2020. However, unlike debit card payments or this debt, you cannot use your NFC or MST phone feature to pay as it is based on the QR code system.
According to the announcement of Samsung Malaysia, all users will be required to perform a mandatory app update on November 15th but before that, all existing users with a connected Boost account on Samsung Pay can still use the QR payment feature.
Samsung also announced that from November 4, 2021, all Samsung Pay Reward points for Samsung Pay Boost will no longer be processed. Users can earn Samsung Reward points only through Boost if payment is made in Boost QR or DuitNow QR code issued by Boost. This means you cannot earn points if you scan the DuitNow QR code issued by other eWallets or local banks.
It is not yet clear why Samsung has decided to end Boost support for Samsung Pay. Although it provides quick access for Boost users to scan or display their QR codes, its use is still limited to merchants with Boost or DuitNow QR codes. Are you using Boost with Samsung Pay? Let us know in the comments below.
In case you miss out, the government announced during the launch of the 2022 Budget that it will provide 2 million eWallet creditors worth R150 under the new eStart program. An amount of RM300 million will be allocated to this program which aims to develop a poor community.

Samsung Game Optimization Team has been working hard to make sure your favorite games run smoothly on your Galaxy phone. The Korean tech giant is collaborating with game developers to fix issues and make sure new games work great from the start on Samsung devices.
This collaboration has brought significant improvements in popular games like “Collapse: Starrail” and “Persona 5: The Phantom X.”
Collapse: Starrail
Samsung recently fixed some issues with a Collapse: Starrail game version 2.1 that was having issues on the S24 LSI model. There were some issues with the animations and gameplay screen speed.
The team swiftly addressed these issues by setting up a Development Camp in China and working closely with the game’s developers. Now, they’re going to release a new version (2.2) in May that should work much better.
Persona 5: The Phantom X
The Galaxy Game Optimization team also made “Persona 5: The Phantom X” run better by using something called Vulkan. They resolved rendering and flickering issues by enhancing the game’s rendering precision. The improved version 1.0.2 is already out, and you can get it from the Galaxy Store or Playstore.
Samsung will continue to inform users of updates and collaborations through a new bulletin board, which will also gather user feedback on game performance. The team also noted a special thanks to YouTuber Square Dream for their assistance in problem-solving.

Galaxy AI has given an edge to Samsung over its rivals internationally. The company won’t let easily go of its impressive streak of artificial intelligence. A new rumor [deleted] suggests Samsung will launch Battery AI features with the Galaxy S25 series next year.
Samsung’s Battery AI tech in Galaxy S25 could eliminate the non-essential tasks to increase the total backup. While rumors suggest no battery capacity boost in next year’s flagships, Samsung is considering AI to join the game and boost Galaxy’s battery efficiency.
Battery AI could be a part of Samsung’s One UI 7.1, powered by Android 15. The feature is expected to increase the overall runtime without affecting the smartphone’s performance. PandaFlash/X claimed that Galaxy users can experience between 5-10 percent increase in the total runtime.
One UI already has battery-related features for backup and optimization. The AI-powered functionality will be even more effective and reliable. There will be drastic changes in terms of battery life between charges as AI will make changes according to usage patterns.
Well, we are quite far away from the Galaxy S25 series launch. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to introduce the Android 15 Beta Program for the Galaxy S24 series in August this year. Stable One UI 7.0 update will likely start rolling out to Galaxies later this year.
