Unified In-App Item Types for Samsung In-App Purchase (IAP)
The ability to designate in-app items as consumable or non-consumable during their registration has been deprecated. Registration of items that distinguish between these types will end in this year, becoming unavailable after 2025. Instead, the quality of whether an item is consumable (one that can be repurchased) or non-consumable (one that cannot be repurchased) is determined by the choice of method that called after the item purchase.
In other words, after an item defined as consumable is purchased in the application, calling the consumePurchasedItems() method processes consumption and allows the user to repurchase it. After an item defined as non-consumable is purchased in the application, calling acknowledgePurchases() confirms the purchase and prevents repurchase, but the item can be used indefinitely without expiration.
Allowing the application to dynamically determine an item’s properties, rather than setting them at the time of registration either in the Seller Portal or through the Publish API, can reduce development complexity and improve flexibility.

Tutorial: Verifying User’s Identity from Your Application Using Samsung Wallet’s App2App SDK
As digital identity verification has become increasingly important, Samsung Wallet now supports users in the United States securely adding their mobile driver’s license (mDL) and using it as a mobile ID. This tutorial introduces how to integrate the "Verify with Wallet (VWW)" feature into an Android application using the RP SDK. The VWW feature, compliant with the ISO 18013-5, provides full authentication functionality based on app-to-app communication between your application and Samsung Wallet, and enables developers to verify user identity directly in their applications using an mDL registered on the device.
See the tutorial on our blog and provide your users an efficient identity verification experience that is completed in just one step.

Regulations for Games Distributed in Vietnam
In accordance with regulations set by Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, all games distributed in Vietnam are required to obtain a G1-G4 license. This license must include the exact title of the game and specify Galaxy Store as a distribution platform. Starting November 19, 2025, you can submit a copy of your license through the Seller Portal. After December 18, 2025, any game (whether new or existing) without a license will no longer be distributed on Galaxy Store in Vietnam.

LoRA.rar: Learning to Merge LoRAs via Hypernetworks for Subject-Style Conditioned Image Generation
Recently, there has been growing interest in personalized image generation technology that can capture particular subjects or styles using only a few reference images. LoRA (Low-Rank Adapter), in particular, is able to deliver high-quality, personalized results from small datasets. Open-source platforms such as Civitai and HuggingFace are sharing a wide range of pre-trained LoRA parameters. However, merging different subjects and styles requires the manual adjustments of coefficients used to combine LoRAs, which is becoming a limitation for real-time applications on resource-constrained devices like smartphones.
To address this challenge, Samsung R&D Institute United Kingdom introduces "LoRA.rar," a hypernetwork-based method for merging LoRAs. LoRA.rar is designed so that its pre-trained hypernetwork predicts the merging coefficients for any subject-style LoRA set instantly. This enables high-quality image generation via a single forward pass to adjust to new LoRA combinations without retraining. Learn more about how this new method opens new possibilities for real-time, personalized image generation on mobile and edge devices on the Samsung Research blog.

LittleBit: Ultra Low-Bit Quantization via Latent Factorization
Large Language Models (LLMs) are innovative technology, but their massive size presents a significant barrier to deployment. The huge memory (especially the usage of GPU VRAM) and computational costs make it difficult to run these powerful models on consumer-grade or edge devices. Quantization, the process of reducing the numerical precision of model weights, is a typical solution to address this issue, but realization of ultralight LLM remains a critical challenge due to severe performance degradation in the "sub-1-bit" area where each weight is represented by less than one bit.
This article explores LittleBit, a breakthrough method presented at NeurlPS 2025 that shatters this barrier. LittleBit enables extreme LLM compression down to levels like 0.1 bits per weight (BPW). This achieves a nearly 31x memory reduction, capable of shrinking a large-scale model like Llama2-13B to under 0.9 GB. LittleBit goes beyond simple 1-bit models and achieving compression down to the 0.1-bit level, demonstrating that high-performance LLMs can run even in highly resource-constrained environments. Learn more about LittleBit on the Samsung Research blog.
